Ericwats Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 03/05/2021 10:50 am Hi Would like to get some thoughts again on what is happening with this 1920 penny. I was thinking this might be a gouge, scrap or some other kind of mechanical damage but it seems too irregular for that. I would have expected straighter lines. If this an example of a die crack running from the wheat ear to the rim over the B in Pluribus? Thanks in avance again, Eric Report this Post to the Staff

Ericwats Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 03/05/2021 1:03 pm Hi Here is a wider view image of the penny. I am not sure what to do about the focus, it seems to lose a lot when I run through the image optimizer. Regards, Eric Report this Post to the Staff
