Occirats Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 01:43 am looks like a die crack on the reverse coming off the wing if that's what you are referring to.. but wait for an expert to give the final say Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 01:56 am I agree that it appears to be a die crack. However, posting a picture of the entire reverse will be needed to be sure! Report this Post to the Staff
Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 02:05 am The line from the wing through the F and O it not a crack it pops up.. Report this Post to the Staff

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 02:22 am I would have to say that's it's a die brake.mits not an interior die brake because it comes from the rim. Now that I think about it, it looks like debri stuck under the clad layer. Like a piece of wire perhaps. Report this Post to the Staff

Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 02:29 am It comes from the wing..it run along the out side of the wing and stop before touching the rim.. Edited by Bate 05/02/2018 02:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 02:52 am I'm not the backup called for, but it is a die crack from the eagle's wingtip to the rim. There is no die break, just a crack in the die (which creates a raised line on the coin).

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 02:52 am Its a die crack. Cracks can form most anywhere. Wherever the die metal is the weakest, or has a flaw from tempering, cracks open up. They actually start on the inside, then rise to the surface. The incused device has caused this metal weakness, it "pulls" the metal inwards when hubbed from the master die, this is a metal stressor. While it is unusual to continue along the device, that's where this die was weakest. Edited by Crazyb0 05/02/2018 02:56 am Report this Post to the Staff

Numisma Pillar of the Community United States 4963 Posts	Posted 05/02/2018 08:00 am When you say "spiky hair eagle," are you referring to the top of the eagle's head? That appears to be just damage, but you do have the die crack, which is a much better thing. Report this Post to the Staff
