Do you have a copy of the book, "Strike It Rich With Pocket Change"? If you do, you made a big mistake buying it. Chris
@Curiouslycoincollecting Take clearer pictures. I see a strange line from the bottom of the neck to above the ear... But it is too blurry to see what it could be.
If it is raised above the field then it would be considered a crack on the Die itself. The metal from the Planchet flowed into the Die Crack. It's not that the coin itself is cracked. You still need to post clearer pictures.
That line thru his Neck is not a die-crack, imo. It's a scratch, and there seems to be a bit of rim damage at the date area too.
P-M 98 - I was replying to the OP's 2nd post where he says 'the line thru it is a crack' - I know you know what it is!
