I do not have this coin - it belongs to an acquaintance. There has been some discussion and debate on what this feature is. I don't want to go into details so as not to prejudice any responses. What is this?   |

From what I am learning because it is going rim to rim and affecting a device (the 2) it would be considered a Retained Cud. We'll see if I am learning correctly now. |

Its not a die crack. It is something on the coin. Note how it extends over the rim. The last picture can see it over the edge of the coin.

I would think a cracked die.

Again, if it were a cracked die, it would not extend over the rim of the coin. It would end before the rim.  Note on this image how the die crack ends before the rim on both sides? I looks like it maybe a thin line of glue. Note how it flows over the edge of the coin at 2:00 on the last image? Edited by coop

Probably next question would be, is there a scratch on the top of the raised area? Do you see gray anywhere on this area?

Its definitely over the rim and on the one by the date it kind of forms a small mass/blob on the rim itself  |

Excuse me but why do you think a die crack can't flow up and over the rim?
