Hi:
I found this coin showing 3 interesting die cracks. All 3 are on the reverse. One of them, I think is unusual (UDC) as it is through the "E" in "ONE" to the rim. The other 2 are usual die cracks from the corners of the memorial to the rim which can be used as die markers, I guess. There is also an interesting bump in the obverse in between the words IN and GOD in the motto. It may be a die gouge smoothed over by die polishing and abrasion, not by circulation wear as the coin is in good shape, conserving most of the original red. I applied tooth pick pressure to that bump and it remained the same; but I'm not sure if it is a die gouge or something else???. It will be interesting to know as it could be used as an additional marker, besides the 2 usual cracks mentioned above. I submitted this coin to JC, in case it can be listed.
Thanks,
Adrian
