Was taking some more photos of my coins today to digitally catalogue them and I noticed that it looks like the queen is crying, not sure if it is an error or stuff like this happens from time to time, looks like it is part of the frosted finish.

Comments appreciated and hope everyone is having a great holiday.

Some errors are common, some are rare.
One definition of error could be "stuff that happens from time to time"
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

1. Looks like it could be a localized de lamination on the coin.
Does the area between the two 'cracks' appear to be lifted up?


2. If that is not the case it may a step along the way towards a die chip.


Unable to make my mind on either case from the picture.

Looks like a small strike through , thread or a tiny piece of wire .
Interesting but quite a common occurrence in the time period of the mid late 1960 s

This coin was struck on the day the Queen found out about Camella.

Thanks for the replies guys! I didn't catch this until after I took photos and was reviewing them so I had to dig it back out of the 50 cent pieces I had and plan to put it under the microscope when I get a moment. I do know the area between the "cracks" is not raised, but also the "cracks" aren't really raised either. Feeling it with my finger I couldn't feel any difference in the surface but I'm sure due to the size I probably wouldn't. I will post pics with the microscope when I get the chance.
