Noticed this weird line going straight through the building on this cent. Any ideas on what it could be?   |

I think it's a little too straight to be a die crack. I was thinking it's possibly a lightly double struck coin? idk  Edited by jon30

Hm...maybe, I don't know, I don't think it would be a linear plate bubble, as it doesn't seem to be raised very much...

@jon30, first welcome to CCF. Second can you please check to see in this linear region can be depressed with a wooden toothpick? Thx.

If it does decompress, then it's linear plate bubbling.

@Spence, I poked at it for a few minutes; it stayed completely firm, and didn't compress.

Die Scratch or Feeder Finger Scrape? Don't know honestly.
Errers and Varietys.

Ok well let's see what @coop says about this one. It seems to cover both high points and low points of the coin.

It's a die crack, it runs from the rim through the 'T' and through the memorial

My opinion is it is most likely a die gouge from the feeder finger. A die crack is the least likely explanation from the pics.

It is a linear plating bubble. Why not Feeder Finger Damage? What area is affected on FFD? The design or the fields? FFD affects the outside of the die scratching the fields. Not the tops of the design. Coin damage affects the tops of the devices. But leaves incuse marks. This is raised, and flattens with a toothpick. Thus it is a linear plating issue with gas under the plating. But note where the strongest strike is, it pushed the gas away from those areas. If it were a die crack, it would have marched across the top of the Memorial. It doesn't. So the gas is contained. Edited by coop

I noticed that after my initial comment, then add more to the comment. The area still reacts like a plating bubble. So that is still the only cause of what I see what caused the issue. It looks like a small plating bubble.
