Is this a die crack?

[timo16]

Is this a die crack going from the "T" in cent to the second "S" in states? I was looking for the die crack on this coin that was is a 2x2 marked "die crack error" but was posting pictures of the obverse on message boards.

It appears to be

Corroded PMD?

This looks like a large scratch to me. Hard to tell with the corrosion on it.

Its hard to tell based on the graininess of those images, but I am inclined to agree with mumu. I don't believe it is a die crack, but rather, corrosion.

That actually looks like crud on the coin and not corrosion to me. Someone mentioned about a lamination split starting with the first "U" in UNUM and goes across the wheat. I don't understand this "graininess" of the image. It is the biggest I can make it without having a file that is many gigabytes in size.

It doesn't look like any die crack that I've ever seen.

I looked closer and you may be right about the lamination

It actually wasn't me that noticed the lamination and I didn't even know what that was. A couple people mentioned about the split starting at the first U in "UNUM" that goes across the "E" in One "T" in Cents to 4 O'clock.

Looks like a scratch to me. Is it raised or incuse? (Looks incuse in the photo, but it can be hard to tell.)

It appears to be either a lamination, or a line of ancient glue residue.

 

I just cataloged a 2-cent that somehow got certified despite significant glue residue on the reverse. At first glance, it has very much the appearance of an extensive network of die-cracks, but I described as the residue that it actually is.

 

Your coin does not have a die-crack to my eye.

Did you poke it with a stick?
