I have quite a few of these, I guess it's a die crack, but in all honesty it looks more like a scratch. But.......I have about 20 of them, all very similar, so can't see that many coins getting scratched in the same place. Some of the marks are joined, others are separate.
Anyhow, make up your own mind and don't be swayed by me.

I think so as well as I have quite a few too
Now the mint has a robot to handle coins, they can assure consistency of marking and damage before they are sent out!
Shops sell new frayed and faded jeans and the mint has joined the trend by releasing pre-damaged coins. :aggressive:
:laugh2: very true Jeff, robots can do the same job as a person and a million dollar bit of junk that has to be maintained just just as good a job as a paid employee :blink:
