coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 3:09 pm Looks damaged to me. Looks like some of the metal was moved post strike. There is not a way possible that I can think of that would be that from the striking process. Almost looks like another coin was used to push the metal on this coin. Not the shape we would expect to see for a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

When you have a deep cut, it creates a trough and pushes the metal from that trough upward and over time it will get smoothed over and be raised above the field. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 03/09/2022 8:28 pm The only thing I can think of is a piece of the prior coin's rim fell off onto the next planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 03/10/2022 01:01 am I agree with the others with PMD. Take a look at the last T in TRUST. The metal was completely moved up, erasing the lower portion of the letter. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
