The cracks are "raised" on the coin? Don't suppose you have a USB microscope.

Great find on the silvers! :thumbsup:

Nice finds. I easily see the "GEO" crack..but having trouble seeing the second one you mention from rim to lower left neck. Regardless, congrats.

position of the coin in daylight is critical when trying to capture a crack, the macro auto focus only allows a close shot that may not show the line as light strikes the surface. I always loupe at 20X to reveal the raised line. the GEO crack is a verified error and the neck crack is one of varying length. used coinsandcanada.com for the research
