Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 11:34 pm What is the straight line running from the 9:00 position on the reverse through the wheat stalk and the you in UNITED? Is it a die crack, something on the flange or what? Thanks for answers in advance. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/22/2014 11:52 pm I think auto-correct got to my original post. It should read the "U" in "UNITED". Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 08/23/2014 12:50 am I agree Nice find although I think its more of a scratch on the die as it dosn't penetrate the lettering or wheat stock. IMO Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/23/2014 1:22 pm It also runs behind the wheat stalk. A sure sign it is on outside edge of the die in the fields. If it were a die crack, it would flow over the device. It is a die scratch. I found a RPM on the obverse on this year. It is listed on coppercoins.com http://coppercoins.com/lincoln/dies...ie_state=mds The neat thing was, there were only 4 dies running when I got this roll. So I found a lot of extras of this die in the roll. So you might like to see if you have a RPM on the obverse? Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/23/2014 2:09 pm I bought a small lot of eight BU 1945-Ds. No repunched mint marks, but in examining them I found that another one has this same die gouge/scratch. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
