I see A crack between T & L in Liberty to the rim from his forehead and two cracks on the right side from the back of his head to the rim. Regards! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 2:38 pm I need to ask a question here - Is the area above the head (the darkened area from the 'crack' [not saying it is yet] to the rim filled up to the edge of the rim? I think it is glue or something like that, as Keith noted. Can you post up another picture of this feature at a low (not edge on, but just above it) angle showing the rim above the head?

Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3178 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 3:45 pm Better pics needed for sure, but it looks like it could be a rim to rim die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 9:40 pm IF the surface is level, then it is just a stain. If it were a die crack, it would be raised, not level. Report this Post to the Staff
Sharkbait46737 New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 03/24/2023 12:26 pm Ok, I did a very light cleaning with mild dawn and water. Here are some more pics. Sorry about the lighting, I am doing this with an iPad and am still learning how to photograph coins. Looking under a 10x magnifier it definitely looks like a crack running from rim to rim. Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
