FYI Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/30/2006 11:05 pm if it is raised, than it is a die crack, if not, its a gouge in the coin. please, do not touch it either way! Report this Post to the Staff

I am guessing that is pist mint damage and not raised but it is going into the metal Report this Post to the Staff

Although it's fairly obvious to a crack addict like myself, those with less experience should note that the "crack" stops around the sides of the stars - had it been an actual die crack, it would be continuous through that area. You can see the raised metal to either side of the gouge over most of its' length. Report this Post to the Staff
Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 07/01/2006 1:28 pm It's damage. Looks like someone took a sharp knife to it. You can see how the cut pushed up metal on either side of the cut. It's worth silver content, about $8. Report this Post to the Staff
