moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 5:03 pm It looks more like a scratch rather than a die crack. Is it raised above the field? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 5:10 pm It sure does look like a scratch, but if so is a little unusual in that it starts our straight and even cuts across a couple numbers before skidding up above the 0 and ending on the rim. I agree the key will be to understand if this linear region sits proud or inset below the field.

1982pennyid Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 5:17 pm It does feel raised with no inset. How would I capture this in a picture? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 5:21 pm Can you take a super-close up photo of just the date area showing the entire length of it? When I blow up your current pic, it gets too pixelated to see enough detail.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74356 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 5:40 pm Can't tell if it's a scratch or something else. Much better pictures will be needed. A good closeup would be great. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 5:47 pm It is a clash mark from the roof on that area. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 6:09 pm @coop, certainly the part to the left of the date is a good match, but what about the continuation of this that goes through or over the last three digits of the date and then to the rim?

RoyCoinBoy Pillar of the Community United States 1609 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 7:46 pm Well, cracks often form on the corner of the memorial, so maybe a crack formed from the corner of the impression of the memorial? Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34418 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 8:32 pm So a die clash of a die crack--is that even a thing? There has got to be a simpler explanation.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 8:36 pm Note the die crack swoops upwards. So clash mark and a die crack. The crack may have happened during the clash? Report this Post to the Staff
