I have this PCGS details-graded variety that is listed as '98-damage' that I am guessing is due to the scratches below the date.
It appears that whomever owned this coin tried to remove whatever is below the date. I have not seen any other of this variety with a die crack in that position and it does not appear as if the scratching implement had any affect on whatever is there.
Anyone have a guess as to what could be on the surface of this coin [if it is not a crack]?
