Just FYI, the "crack" can still be raised if the coin was cut.... If it was cut from the right, it would APPEAR raised when the light hits the left side of it like a couple of us said before.. When a coin is cut, especially at an extreme angle, it will leave a flap of metal, the metal that appears to be raised on this coin. All the thread starter has to do is take a picture where the light hits the RIGHT side of the "cut" or "crack" and we will know.

From what it sounds like, it's just a flap of metal caused by a cut:
"Its actually all raised & curls over & stops on the face of the coin"

Sounds like it was cut, and the piece of metal that was hanging off was bent and curled over so it seems like a bump.

Ok I'm still new at collecting coins... but I'm familiar with metal and saws... 1) yes if cut at a angle it would leave a grove up but it would peel off in places not leaving that grove the whole way, 2) to leave a li like that would require a serious angle.... one thst I just dont see if you note on the 4 were it is "cut" you would see a slope at the bottom. .. one I just dont see. 3)if it was a cut then it would raise up perfict on the s n the 4 the way it does to me it looks like something got stuck on the die 5) if it was a cut again a angle would have needed to be used n that shadow wouldn't cover that angle with how small thst shadow is you would still see a cut.... thats just mho this dont spell cut to me

It can't be something on the die, because the "crack" extends to the very edge of the coin. The die doesn't strike onto the rim and to the edge of the coin... so if it was on the die, it would stop at the rim not the very edge of the coin. I'm almost positive this "crack" was NOT on a die. It extends beyond where the die would strike therefore making it impossible to have been on the die.

But like I've said before... a picture from a different angle would help a ton. You'd be surprised at what you could hide on a coin just by using the right lighting angle.
