Is this an error?

It looks like the crack is below the "E" which would suggest it happened during the mint process.

What do yall think?

Is this mint damage? What is the error type?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I think its just wear and tear. I doubt it was like that from when it left the mint.

How could the cracked line be under the "E"? If you zoom in on it you can see.

I see what you mean it might have been a machine fault when it was made or something!

It looks like a blob of glue or something on the coin....a soak in acetone will tell the tale

The old me would have argued that it wasn't glue.

Haha.

Thank yall.
