Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7042 Posts	Posted 09/28/2021 12:38 pm After zooming in, IMO it appears to be a struck through copper foil. Border circles up through "hair curl" under W of WE goes though the D then back down under the O of GOD. Condition of coin would make it 2x2 worthy but not high enough of the grading costs....Again just my opinion Report this Post to the Staff

Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 09/28/2021 2:04 pm Technically, and with all due respect, if this is a die break it would be referred to as a 'freestanding internal die break' (albeit still retained). But then again.... there's that 4 square millimeter dilemma and/or controversy between a die chip and a die break, respectfully. Without better, clear, cropped and close-up pics, we may never know....... Edited by Bumpkin 09/28/2021 2:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

When I can get closer pictures you will see what appears to be a crack that circles the extra metal. When you turn the coin on its side the raised metal is very obvious with the naked eye. Thanks so much for finding that for me Report this Post to the Staff
