Yes I see similarities but I think the line on 5 cent is more defined and straight. Just need mirrored image just to check back of coin well that was my theory, that it had a object there when dies clashed. Or its one long Cud

Not all scrapes and die gouges will be the same. 1925/6 was a different period and had a different method to producing coins compared to todays technology, instruments and procedures. That one could possibly have been from a scraping on the feeder finger to the reverse die at some stage during production..

Here is the same line but smaller in length.

I'm no expert, but IMO if the line is always in the same location, but can be of different lengths, then that would indicate a gradual deterioration of the die, a die crack, but weirdly in a straight line.

I am thinking that you are correct in that it is a 'die crack'.ttkoo
Not a gouge of some sort.as the line increases.
Can a 'die ' begin to crack from the middle outwards?

Again, I'm no expert. The crack could be following on from a weak point , or stress raiser, created at the lower end of a gouge. Either way it promotes good discussion. Another nice oddity and one I would have as a keeper, that's for sure.
