Collectinator Valued Member Canada 184 Posts	Posted 03/18/2014 9:47 pm Not sure if this is a die crack or scratch. I also noticed something on the N after I took the picture. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks Edited by Collectinator 03/18/2014 9:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Collectinator Valued Member Canada 184 Posts	Posted 03/19/2014 4:40 pm Is the diagnosis still planchet flaw after seeing the better quality pics? Report this Post to the Staff
