nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 06/28/2010 9:43 pm A friend of mine that I was visisting this past weekend sent me a note about a crack from rim to rim on the obverse. I am waiting for a picture or the coin itself if he can't produce a large enough picture. Here is a C&P from his mail: On one 2001-P on the obverse there is what looks like a crack that extends from between the I and B in LIBERTY to the bottom of her shawl, rim-to-rim. The reverse is totally normal. I don't see any possible way this could be the result of damage to the finished coin. Die flaw? Uncommon, or in the millions? Does anyone know of anything like that? I checked the CherryPickers Guide 4th Edition but nothing after 2000. nlp Report this Post to the Staff

Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 06/28/2010 9:56 pm Rim to rim die cracks do happen. I think they are really cool. Value-wise, it is usually worth a couple/few bucks. On a Sacagawea, I don't know. Report this Post to the Staff

nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 07/02/2010 10:16 am False alarm. I think the excitement may have been brought on by the rolled up metal deposits like the one at the ear ring. It could have been scratched during the extraction process from the dies. nlp Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/02/2010 10:55 pm It that raised? It looks like a scratch on the coin. The area at 6:00 shows that the area next to rim is not touched. So I'm seeing a line like from a blade cutting it. The line is straight and not irregular as a crack would be.
