bipani33 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Hello, I am looking for opinions on whether this is a die crack on the reverse or not. The entire line is raised. It goes straight from one rim to the other - right through little Lincoln's head. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Welcome to the Chat Board That is not a die crack, it is too straight. It is a rim to rim scratch. Sandon and Mike Meenderink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Welcome to the NGC chat board. The depressed area at the center of the raised areas indicates that this is a deep scratch, possibly caused by a nail or similar sharp object. The raised areas are metal displaced by the scratch. A die crack or break would be raised in its entirety. Mike Meenderink 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
