Can't find anything about this in coinsandcanada. What's your opinion on this raised "line" above CE of cents? It starts off the top of a bead, then it goes through 3 more beads, exactly at their centres. So it looks like the 4 beads are connected by a "string".
I'm thinking it's either a die crack or some extra nickel plating. It's not a gas bubble since it's solid.

Sorry about the pic quality, it's the best I could do for now.

Is this the cupronickel issue or the nickel-plated steel?

Thanks! It's the steel one, it has the RCM logo on the back. Does this add value to the coin?
