John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 6:36 pm Most likely a die crack not a die break. Being thick like it is, I was wondering if it might be a retained struck through? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73747 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 8:12 pm My vote is Die Crack, since it's connected to the rim. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 8:29 pm If a die crack, that would be nice. But my first thought was struck through a piece of scrap or something. Cracks don't usually follow a straight line. Two questions, does it wrap around the edge? Also curious if it responds to a magnet? Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

jpsi Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 9:24 pm Thanks all! There's no response with the magnet and the line tapers into the rim but does not wrap. Including a close-up image. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 11:16 pm Definitely not a retained strike through. Just a nice die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24977 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 11:23 pm Seems somewhat thick and straight for a die crack, especially over the devices. Struck-through seems to be a better explanation. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/01/2023 11:59 pm You guys are way over-thinking this. It's just a thick die crack. A strike through wouldn't be so raised, and it has the classic lumpy shape of a die break. Edited by SamCoin 09/02/2023 12:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
