cconrad Valued Member United States 128 Posts	Posted 11/28/2008 9:48 pm I found this in some pocket change. It's in mint condition. Just wondering if it's worth anything or at least hanging on to. Sorry about the lighting in a couple of pics. I don't have much to work with. Report this Post to the Staff

junjiesalvador Valued Member Philippines 212 Posts	Posted 11/28/2008 10:21 pm Hi, I think it's a die crack but what's with the 6 on the date of your first image? Can we have a clearer photo of your date? Thanks junjie Report this Post to the Staff

rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 11/28/2008 11:01 pm Looks like it could be a bubble in the plating to me. Report this Post to the Staff
copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 11/28/2008 11:39 pm I agree with rockdude, only because if you look slightly to the right of whatever the anomaly is there seems to be a pattern of rough "bubble" surface that runs in the same direction as the "drool" (great name for it by the way!)

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/30/2008 12:08 am It's not evidence of a die break. The line is caused by bubbles in the plating. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
mikep Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 11/30/2008 12:42 am Take a toothpick and press on the supposed crack. A bubble in the plating will be soft and press down. That's what I do when I'm unsure. It looks a little "puffy" to be a crack. Report this Post to the Staff
