RWNewhouse New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 04/10/2024 3:27 pm Hi, first post here! I'm wondering if I've found my first die crack. It's an indent running from the bottom of Kennedy's back hair line to the rim (but not through). It's between the "Y" in Liberty and the last "T" in Trust. Three pics attached.

Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 04/10/2024 3:41 pm That doesn't appear to be a die crack behind Kennedy's head. Coin looks quite circulated, so could just be circulation damage or.... Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 96071 Posts	Posted 04/10/2024 5:15 pm It does not appear to be a die crack, maybe a hit from the heavy circulation this coin has seen Collecting since 1972.
