coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 11:27 am It would have to be a die crack. It is raised on the deeper devices in the die of the left wheat grains. If it were a die gouge, it would have to have been into the interior of the die. A die crack would be a logical assumption as it happened a lot on the wheat cents. Report this Post to the Staff
