You should include the date, mintmark, and the denomination in your titles. Why Topic Titles are ImportantThe title of your topic is very important. Let's say you need help attributing an 1896 Morgan Dollar.... - Horrendous: Help!
- Bad: Need help with coin
- Better: Need help with Morgan Dollar
- Good: Need help with 1896 Morgan Dollar
- Awesome: Need help with V
This enables the members with expertise pertaining to your question to easily find and answer your question. The title of the topic also becomes the title of the topic's web page, which enables us to attract more collectors to the site. The more members we have, the more we learn. |

Looks like a BIE and a glue stain. John1  |

The line rising up from the R is raised and also stained... you can also see a raise next to Lincol's neck (but raise not following the silloutte) - east of the word liberty. Also possibly raised a bit on the east side of the coin at the top, between the S & T in TRUST, just not as pronounced...
That is why I mentioned LAM error... or other type error? Also the spotty bubbling is strange to me.

Yes cookie monster I am NEW... So at this point in the game the boring stuff to you is still a bit exciting to me... just learning about what I should be looking for! I think I am doing fairly well for only being in the game a month. I am sure there was a beginning to your collecting as well  |

I think I am doing fairly well for only being in the game a month. I agree--you've shown us a couple great coins so far. I might give this coin a bath in pure acetone (with adequate ventilation and precautions). Don't wipe or scrape the coin--just soak and maybe pat dry. The linear region coming off the R might be a die crack or the edge of glue. The idea is that the bath should remove the glue, but obviously leave the die crack intact. Either way, this coin should end up in a 2x2. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I don't clean coins... I did figure that out early on! I know I could bathe it properly... but have made no attempts yet.
But I am sure this is a Die Crack... I will try to get some closer shots with different angle light source!

So I let it soak in acetone... and it looks the same! Not sure what is going on there? Beyond the "BIE"   |

Yeah... I am not sure. But again it seems to have a slight raise to it?
Its a bit ugly...but I'll take it at BIE value! Especially since it is the first BIE I've found.
I just got my digital micro camera. So, still just trying to get pics of what I discovered in the last month.
