hi everybody !.... I'm new to this website .....and I would like some help with this 1998-p coin...... is this is some type of error?... or do I need some sleep?#128517;
That is a die crack. It is not a big thing though. The die is showing its age. It is not ready for retirement yet. Probably several hundred thousands were struck after this event that cause the die crack. Keep in mind. If it raises off the coin (like your example) then that is a die issue. If it is incuse (sunk into the coin) then it is damage to the coin. So you have found an error coin, but not much of a premium for this. Welcome to the forum.
