One of my LCSs asked me to check a few '74 nickel dollar for doubled dies. Around 4 or 5 were a doubled die, but I noticed three that had the same mark - perhaps a die scratch or crack. Has anyone else seen this mark while looking through dollars? It's the thin line on the last building going up about 45 degrees from the bottom.

I see the line you are referring to, looks like a die crack.

That's what I suspected, but wanted to make sure since the LCS let me have them at face after I told them they weren't doubled dies. I like how coins struck from the same dies seem to come in together (same variety, same cracks, etc.) with these nickel dollars. Thanks

That does seem to have been highlighted somehow (e.g. Paint). Interesting that he's in the same province.
