I was looking through some rolls of dimes I had and came across this nice die crack.

At first I thought it was a scratch but then I looked closer and realized it wasn't. I thought it was pretty interesting given the location and the size, almost looks like a mooring line.

Almost looks like links on a chain. Nice Die Crack, thanks for sharing.
Mooring line indeed. Oval shaped beads and machine doubled H.
Looking at the rim bead the die crack goes through, this die crack
has some separation. Neat for a modern coin.

You don't often see Significant die crack on modern coins. This one is very cool. It does look like a mooring line. Keeper for sure just because of the cool factor.

I'm fond of die cracks.
I don't collect Canadian coins but I'd put that coin in a 2x2 and store it away.

JohnWayne007 if you would not mind. could you take and image of the obverse of this coin. the reason why I ask. there is also another collector. we are looking for marking on the obverse of this year of dime. I am wondering if you might have one of these coins.

Thank you all for the replies, I thought it was a pretty good die crack and the location of it is perfect, good conversation piece and I do plan on tucking it away in a 2x2.


Rocky, here is a photo of the obverse, not sure what kind of marker you are looking for as I don't see anything out of the ordinary but if you need a closeup of a certain location let me know.

JohnWayne007 thank you john. sorry not this one. john there is a few in the wild. they has a small mint logo. what some one did at the mint. they used the small mint logo. instead of the circulation logo which is larger. these are quite hard to find. again thank you john.
