MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 04:34 am If I saw this under my loop on a Morgan I would call it a die crack with a possible clash. As I don't know pennies I would like any and all opinions as to what this may be. Focus on the line extending up from shield toward the F. This is a raised line not a scratch and extends from rim to rim below ribbon. Above shield is so severe I would almost call it a clash. I have a bunch of 2012-2015 pennies and this is the only one with anything like this on it. On Morgans they are very common and are used to find some VAMS. What do you think? I have tried to look up, but hard to find info online on new pennies. Any suggestions on this as well? Thanks...Mont. Report this Post to the Staff

Unlike die crack that only get worse with continued use of the dies. Neither are a big item. Just an event that happened to a die. If the coin were a variety, the event/stage maybe used as a marker. But if the coin is not a variety, then it is just a die event. It is not a clash mark. It would be at a different angle if it was. Edited by coop 04/22/2016 1:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
