brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 01/03/2012 10:41 am This nickle has a raised piece of medal that looks like what I would guess is a die crack, but it is really straight which I find weird. The spot I am speaking of runs from between In and God all the way to the middle of neck below the jaw line. All help is appreciated on what this might be.

brenpickle Pillar of the Community United States 836 Posts	Posted 01/04/2012 08:49 am Thanks for your opinion Conder. I have looked at it closely and I don't think it is a cut, but it might be. The medal just seems to be raised and there does not look to be lower points on either side of the raise. Report this Post to the Staff

Jayman931 Pillar of the Community United States 2651 Posts	Posted 01/05/2012 10:53 am I think it is a cut also...you can see it affects the rim of the coin as well. I think a crack wouldn't affect the rim. Report this Post to the Staff
