ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19164 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 1:57 pm I don't believe it's a die crack. Given the photos posted, it could be a hit which caused cladding to rupture, or it could be a minor clad exfoliation. In either case, it's my opinion that there's no added value. A rabid Ike dollar collector might give $1.50 to $2.50 for the coin. I'd suggest not sending the coin in to a 3rd party grading service for attribution and grading--just my opinion. Always fun to get an Ike in change. Others will be along to comment. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/12/2021 3:27 pm Most likely the Ike hasn't been used all that much, thus no extreme wear on it. I agree 3rd party grading is not the way to go. The grading fees would cost you much more than the coin is worth. Keep it or share it with kid who would get a thrill having and keeping it (then in 40 years asking us here about it). to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 2:22 pm Looks incuse, which means damage to the coin. If it were a die crack, on the die there would be an incuse void, on the coin that area would be raised. Not seeing that on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Silentinmysin New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 5:56 pm It does have a void but it's really small so you cant see it with the naked eye. Basically when I look at it with a 10x loop it looks like there was an earthquake and it split the ground open and it is raised from the surface a little bit it actually looks like I can pry a chunk of the clad layer off Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 12/13/2021 6:04 pm It does appear to be a tiny lamination to me, it would also be kind of a strange spot on the coin to have two contact marks like that. Definitely not worth grading either way and most likely no premium, I have found a few tiny lamination errors over the last few weeks after I discovered what to look for.
