Villa Rose Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 5:00 pm Take a look at the horizontal line near the center of this coin. Is this a cracked die? Under my magnifier it does not look like a scratch on the coin itself, but I cannot be certain about that. And it doesn't extend into the figure of Walking Liberty; it's only in the fields beside her. There's nothing like it on the reverse side. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Danester Valued Member United States 213 Posts	Posted 10/26/2015 5:23 pm Hard to tell from the image. It could also be a crack in the Half Dollar plantchet. If it has a ridge its a die crack, and if it look reassessed its a crack in the coin its self. If a coin has a lot of ware like this one that could be hard to determine. If I had to guess I'd say it was a crack in the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
