MikeThePenny Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 09/07/2009 9:22 pm It's not a die crack. It would be raised and not going in the coin. Might be just coins banging togeather in the bag. Hope this is right. It's what I call mine. lolol See the flating on the steps on the right side? It stops at the crack. 99% Of the time I'm wrong so don't take my word on it. lol Edited by MikeThePenny 09/07/2009 9:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 09/07/2009 10:03 pm I don't think it's a die crack either. It doesn't look like a raised line. It looks more like a hit. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 09/08/2009 06:16 am Chuckster, is one side of these steps raised slightly higher than the other? I'm just not convinced this is not a die break. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 09/08/2009 11:42 am Thanks MorgansRMine: Here a couple of more pics- I'm not seeing any raised steps on either side except where they meet, it looks like the metal was pushed up?

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 09/08/2009 12:42 pm Chuckster, this is a retained die break on a 94 cent. Yours is not as noticeable, but it appears to me that all the steps on the right side of the break are slightly higher than the left. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 09/08/2009 2:33 pm What was mentioned is possible. The second set of pictures gives us a little better idea of the depth of the anomaly. Report this Post to the Staff
