EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 6:19 pm -makecents- One heck of a scratch if you ask me! So I guess this would be a scratch too? Here's a closer view of a portion: Edited by EML Coin Collector 06/29/2023 6:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

EML Coin Collector Valued Member United States 193 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 8:57 pm OK-will keep until I find one that supposedly is cracked. So it seems like Die Cracks always are uneven on the surface? I've seen a lot of scratched coins, but this seems so different especially going through so much of the coin and pretty deep. Most scratches are short and light. Edited by EML Coin Collector 06/30/2023 1:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97793 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 9:34 pm Yes, the path of a die crack, from what I have seen so far, has never been a straight line, they are craggy and wander a bit (just like concrete would crack) Collecting since 1972.

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/29/2023 9:42 pm Die cracks can be a straight line, but they can't be incuse. A die crack will be raised as material from the planchet flows into the crack during the strike. Scratches like this are incuse because someone has gouged out material f4om the surface.
