VarietyBuffalos New Member United States 41 Posts	Posted 08/16/2007 01:14 am Found this in my pocket change, 1998-D Extra ear. Anyone have any information on it? Is it a real DDO? Or is it just another die crack playing tricks on my eyes? Whatcha think? Here is a photo, one as pictured and one enhanced.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 08/16/2007 02:19 am I suspect a crack in the die but back up a little and get a shot that shows a little more of the head then post those pics. I still strongly suspect die cracks as I've seen some very similar but the shape has me intrigued a little. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 08/20/2007 6:41 pm It does not look like the cracks that I usually keep. It looks, instead like there could have been a strike-thru, or maybe a lamination. It is too "uniform", if you will to be just a crack. Not that all the cracks are 'uniform"! Some are just nicer than others..... Dick Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/02/2007 5:30 pm Its a die crack/chip/break. Somewhere in that range. The die has failed and you can see this especially on 2006 Cents as they are probably known to be one year that the dies failed the most. Sometimes die breaks get so deep into the die that they stand higher than the devices. Here is one that I've imaged. It is the T on a Wheat cent. It looks like the big rock in Australia.
