coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 7:20 pm TO me it looks like a crack. Even though it is straight, it does have a wavy appearance in the center. I found a coin a while back that had three die cracks that looked just like this one. A linear plating bubble would be a lot thicker than a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 615 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 8:34 pm I must concur the the experts above. A die crack must start or end at the rim, so from what I'm seeing it appears to be a die crack. I have a similar one that is a straight line from the rim, halfway through the bottom step where it ends. I would post pics, if only I knew where it was:( Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/20/2014 01:53 am I have a stash of coins that I need to re-check to see what is really going on with. There are about 50 in my stash location. These are not major varieties, just new stuff not listed yet. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 11/21/2014 07:30 am In not as common cases, a die crack will start and end anywhere on the coin. But I agree it is a crack. Report this Post to the Staff
