I could use your expertise on this. Has anyone seen this before? A crack from rim to rim?

@tip, that is awfully straight for a die crack. Are you sure it isn't a cut from a razor blade? It looks incuse.

As bad as I hate to say it, I'm with Spence. I've been trying to find an RTR for quite some time, hundreds of thousand of times, been close but still no cigar.

Close up of a cut on a coin:

On cut on coin, it will leave an incuse mark with sides that are move metal from the cut. On a die crack the area on the cut is raised, no trench.
