brahcu New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 6:35 pm Fairly NEW TO THIS. IS THIS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A DIE CRACK? What do you experts think? Edited by brahcu 12/28/2011 6:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 9:03 pm DrDon I defer to your expertise. I would add that I see a lot of gas bubbles and that coin is going to deteriorate. Perhaps putting it into an air-tight container will help, but only time will tell. Report this Post to the Staff

kimberlysupak New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 12/29/2011 10:40 pm I find it difficult at times to figure out what is a die crack or scratch on my own coins. If it's a scratch, is there always a raised area ? Happy Hunting 2012! Report this Post to the Staff

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 12/30/2011 6:49 pm Gas lines tend to be thicker and irregular. I'm not saying it can't be gas but I'll stick with a crack. Report this Post to the Staff
