I got a 1999 Oh Canada coin set. Never been opened. Looked at the coins today and noticed a line on the obverse of the quarter from the Queens chin through the "N" in Regina all the way to the edge of the rim.

Looks like a die crack, but it's hard to be sure from the picture.

Are you sure it is in the coin, and not the plastic case?

I am positive that it is on the coin, and not in the plastic.

This picture was taken with the plastic cover off.

I have to agree.It looks like a die crack.
I also have mint sets that have errors of some sort.

I work with whitete, and have seen it as well. This is definately not the plastic.

Nice big die crack! It's unusual to find such a noticeable error in a PL set. Collector coins like this are supposed to be inspected at the mint.

i did not expect to find this at all. I meanin a mint you should never be able to let coins like this be distributed .. but I'm happy
