johnnycat500 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 4:35 pm I found this cent with a raised die crack? New at this so really don't know the correct terminology. Is this considered an error. Edit: I just noticed the doubling on liberty. I would think that would be a DDO on liberty? on date and mint mark Edited by johnnycat500 07/10/2019 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74768 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 5:12 pm The head shows a scratch from PSD. In the I and B of "LIBERTY", there's a Die Chip. I am also seeing Die Deterioration Doubling and Machine Doubling on the devices, so it's not a Doubled Die Obverse. Errers and Varietys.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 6:56 pm johnny - is the entire length of this mark raised on both sides, or is is depressed on one side where a gouge has pushed up metal all along the edge? to the CCF!

johnnycat500 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 7:28 pm Yes it is raised on both sides and a raised blob in the middle. I think if it was a gouge the blob in the middle would be gouged also. A toothpick stops on both sides of the raised line. I have looked at it at different angles it is not a cut into the surface of the coin. Edited by johnnycat500 07/10/2019 7:39 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/11/2019 12:34 am Sorry, but that is not raised. There is no way that this area would be raised. This is a contact mark with a trench. The cheek and the edge of the ear is raised and the inner ear is lower. If you had a lower angle of light you would see the light and shadows better. PSD not a die crack.
