DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/18/2009 8:27 pm Judging by the contours of the lower serif, I'm going to guess die deterioration--until an expert chimes in. Report this Post to the Staff

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 6:03 pm It seems to have pretty smooth contours for a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 7:54 pm I'm not sure what it is. With Nickels other rules apply. But I don't think it is Die Deterioration as that happens on devices toward the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 09/19/2009 11:39 pm OK, here's a couple more pix. Looks like a crack around the MM or the beginning of a lamination peel if possible. Report this Post to the Staff
MikeThePenny Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 09/20/2009 09:36 am Hmmm it's at the top and bottom with cracks on both ends. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/20/2009 09:53 am Looks like a lamination error from what I can see. Thanks for the extra image numismo. It show what I needed to see. Not the two different colors on the coin. The lighter color falls in line with the lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
