Please post your coins in the proper sections. That way they get the proper attention. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 02:19 am Yes it would be considered a die crack since it moves towards the rim, but It is quite thick at the wingtip which makes me think that is something else. A die chip, die gouge(unlikely) or an oddball strike thru. Die cracks aren't generally that "globby", are consistently thinner along the length. [umm Report this Post to the Staff
ItchyN Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 06:39 am Because it has considerable thickness, I would call this a die break rather than a die crack. A die break is simply a crack that has gotten bigger. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 08:44 am I don't think it's a die crack or die break . Maybe something else Post Strike . Edited by T-BOP 07/21/2017 08:46 am Report this Post to the Staff
kidrootbeer New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 07/21/2017 10:53 am if it just "sits on" the coin, and is not a part of it, it's solder. Check to see if the break" is a part of the strike Report this Post to the Staff
