I posted in the other thread about picking up some nickel dollars at my LCS today and I spotted two '74s, so I took them out for a quick look. One turned out to be VCR-4, which was cool, but the first one I looked at had what looked like an antenna on a building. Looking at the Charlton catalogue, they mention a die crack in a similar (but not the same) location as an "antenna," but this doesn't look like a die crack and overlays don't line up for it to be a clash. What is it?  |

I need a photo with a wider view, for context...

That is different... perhaps a couple tooling marks? It does not look like a die clash or die crack...

I just found another of these going through a number of '74s.

Is this a hair or die crack?  I see the antennae, tool mark. |

Can't be a hair, it has appeared on too many coins here. Odd place for a crack likely a scratch in the die?
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

The circled part is a hair (I had a time finding the original coin ... too many dollars on my desk!).
