ZenFE99 Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/11/2016 7:01 pm Got tired of seeing this on the bay, bought it cause it looked interesting. No good pics of my own, but it's a legit 'ridge'. What do y'all think? Report this Post to the Staff

ZenFE99 Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/12/2016 08:04 am IIRC I paid $18 plus the ride. The reverse appears ok/normal? Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 6:20 pm It loos like the die has cracked and sunk on one side of the crack. Report this Post to the Staff
ZenFE99 Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/13/2016 10:01 pm This is exactly what I was thinking. It doesn't look like PMD, the 'S' is all there, and the rim details disappear right along the line/crack. Are FE die cracks common? Not something I recall seeing allot of. I wonder if this coin has any brothers out there with the same line/crack? Report this Post to the Staff
