Looking at the pics, which are the ones I'm fixing to post so only pics I have, it looks like a Die Crack. Please help...not best pictures I'm sorry for that but don't want to buy something and then it not be anything. Thank y'all! Oh and I know y'all like the pics to be straight so I had to drop them a lil so that they were have originals if you would like those as well. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/13/2020 10:25 pm Can tell from the images. But I doubt it is a die crack. Die cracks don't turn corners exact the same on each end. Probably a stain on the coin. A die crack would be raised above the devices and Bust. A stain will be level with the surface on the coin. Same event below above the motto as well.

The one south on coin bellow the motto I can see is a stain. The ones coming from both sides of head and to me looks like going across but that's why I'm asking the pros before I make any decisions.
