uzedcarguy New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 9:37 pm I recently picked up a 1902 Indian cent. After I got it in better light I noticed that the face looked odd. Take a look and see what I mean. The area in question is around the eye level of the chief. I apologise for the quality of the pic. My scanner is on the fritz and I had to use the camera on an IPAD. Could this be a die crack error? [blue]Moved by Forum Mom from Modern US coins forum to Classic US Variety and Error Coins forum.[blue] Report this Post to the Staff

uzedcarguy New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 01/18/2013 9:54 pm I wish the pic would have looked like the ctual coin. The coin is in great shape. Very little wear. I agree with you. It likely is damage rather than error...But a fella can dream, right? lol Report this Post to the Staff

Even kind of vaguely like a chop mark you would find on a Trade dollar. Ignore the red arrows in the pic and notice the line running across the bottom of the 186 and to the left and right of those numbers in the date. That is a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
