Not listed on COC, but I am sure JC will let me know if he wants to list it. Edited by CoinCents 06/14/2016 12:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/14/2016 11:57 am That is not a die crack. That is a die gouge/dent on that area. The difference? A gouge flow behind the devices because it is on the outside part of the die. On a die crack, it flows on top of the fields and devices. On your coin it flows behind the devices so it is not a die crack. Edited by coop 06/14/2016 12:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
