Hinkle Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I'm not really sure to say die chip or die crack on this. Its the line between F-S on reverse. Doing research I'm coming up with that, it would be hard for die cracks to appear on proof coins, but does happen time to time. It is in plastic wrapper so I took the best pics I can until I break it out and put the coin in a 2x2 flip. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated thanks.

Coinbuf Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hard to say for sure in the plastic, perhaps a small die gouge as it seems a strange place for a crack to form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Coinbuf, I'll take another pic of it before I transfer it to a 2x2 flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinkle Posted October 30, 2021 Author Share Posted October 30, 2021 My bad it was the plastic. Sorry about that, I'll know next time to take it out and get a better look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made the plastic error myself with proof and mint set coins in the past. It happens. ~Tom Hinkle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
