$61. Thoughts on grade or problems? Thanks!

It was the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs in game 4 of the World Series when I bought this coin. What a game!

The long line from the jaw of liberty to the rim looks like a crack rather than a scratch. Let me know what you think. The coin looks remarkably well struck for a failed, cracked die, but I think the line looks raised, especially by the rim. And the line looks a little crooked like you would expect in a crack rather than a scratch.

it does look like a scratch. the lighting is washing out the surfaces but it appears the coin was lightly cleaned. I'm holding on the details designation due to the photos. AU58

Hard to tell from the photo. It looks like a die crack near the dentile but a scratch as it travels towards the jaw.

here are some better pictures. The coin looks dipped.

Tried to take some pictures of the neck area through the 10x loupe. the line is hard to see even with the loupe and it looks like a raised crack.
