If the coin had something like a piece of wire or fiber "over struck" then it would be excused and not raised above the surface. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 09:53 am Agree, die crack, and a rather large one. These are often seen on silver, nickel, and copper coins but are much less common on gold pieces. It might add some appeal to the right buyer. The coin has strong AU detail with remaining luster. I don't see any obvious hairlines from abrasive cleaning but it looks excessively shiny, particularly in the angled photos. It has likely been dipped in an attempt to brighten it up.

Dual-brain Valued Member United States 404 Posts	Posted 03/31/2017 11:10 pm Very cool! Id have picked up that bad boy!, also! And from what ive seen, it looks like a die crack to me also... I guess gold is very soft and so dies didnt break as often as when minting copper/silver/nickel Edited by Dual-brain 03/31/2017 11:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
