Grizzman New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 2:30 pm Hi, first time posting but I've come here over the years to check out certain coins and stuff. I just figured it's time to join! I do a bit of coin roll hunting and just recently started getting into quarters for the W's, came across this last week. Is this considered a die crack? I've searched and can't find one online that looks like mine. I can definitely tell that the metal line is raised. Would this be something worth grading perhaps, I do have a PCGS account. Thanks again guys and happy to finally join! * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! * Report this Post to the Staff

Grizzman New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 2:36 pm But the metal is raised and there is no indent in the coin that a scratch would make. I can try to get better pictures but the metal line is bloby clearly sits on top of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 2:46 pm Thats a deep scratch. The pics are fine. The metal is pushed up on both sides of the scratch. Its not a crack Report this Post to the Staff

Grizzman New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 3:44 pm I'll get better pics but there is no indentation in the metal. Only raised blob metal. On the last picture you can see the line then the top of the 0 is untouched and continues after. Wouldn't something causing a scratch in that area cause damage to the top of the 0?

Classic Coins Pillar of the Community United States 940 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 4:11 pm I agree with the others that say this is a scratch. Metal is clearly displaced by the object that scratched the coin. This is clearest (to me) in the first closeup image. In the second closeup image, there is a skip in the scratch to the left of the hand because this part of the design is recessed compared to the parts above and below the skip. If this was a die crack, there would be no skip. Edited by Classic Coins 01/15/2021 4:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 4:24 pm Reason there is no scratch in the 0 is because its incused. If the 0 was raised, there would be a scratch. There is no doubt that this is just a scratch on the coin Report this Post to the Staff
Grizzman New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 4:38 pm Ok since the 0 is incuse and I'm an idiot it has to be a scratch!I'll still get it under better magnification just so I can see and not make that mistake again. I'll post a for real cool error coin next time! Thanks guys Report this Post to the Staff
