Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/19/2016 7:40 pm That last pic looks like that extra long step is from a tiny die crack. That is a die state and not an error coin. However, I've never seen a die crack like that and just for that reason, I'd keep it. Report this Post to the Staff
