bsshog40 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Looks more like a planchet crack than a die crack to me. coinman_23885 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldhoopster Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I think it's raised, therefore a die crack. The lighting seems to give the illusion that it's recessed. Just my thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 (edited) It seems to extend into the rim which would excluded any but a catastrophic crack. Further, cracks in die metal follow crystal boundaries which are not long straight lines, and are rarely radial....this looks straight from the photo. Cracks in planchets are often nearly straight because they have not been subjected to the same kinds of stress forces as die steel. A really clear, sharp photo of the defect would help.

[Sidebar: I no longer remember to whom this was attributed but when President Nixon was reportedly asked his choice to become Secretary of the Interior, he supposedly responded, "Any hick'll do," and that, according to legend, was how the former governor of Alaska, Wally Hickel, became part of the Cabinet... There are two members who misspell "nickel" but to each his own, and to whom it may concern, the correct spelling is "fluorescent".] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
