Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 8:48 pm I found this Cent in a roll of 57's my Mom gave me. At first I thought it was just the neck line. Then when I checked further I realized it's a die crack. I was told UV light does not enhance an error, but in this case it really makes the crack stand out. I've added another 1957-D to compare the neck line to. Dan Edited by Panther 01/14/2019 9:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 01/14/2019 9:31 pm The third photo shows the crack best. It is a raised line, not an indent. Dan Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/15/2019 02:28 am Nice catch, Dan! I don't recall seeing a die crack in that area before. However, '57-Ds are known for die wear such as cracks and chips/breaks. Neat find.
