Wow! That’s a great description! Now your really making me wonder guys! How would I be able to tell for sure? Or is there a way for me to test it?

I think the area in B4 is a deep gas bubble... Since it appears to butt up against C5 if it were die related I would think that C5 would show some distortion??? John brings up a good point on the crack - To me it still appears to be all crack but there is some corrosion going on under the plating that has caused some areas to split... The area at the rim may have taken a hit??? If the collar was cracked in that area there would be evidence on the coins edge known as a vertical collar crack... Check out Error ref http://www.error-ref.com/?s=collar+cracks About the only way to tell for sure on what you actually have is an in hand look... If JC thinks your coin may be suitable for a UDC he may want to see it in hand first... Hope that helps a bit!!!Jim

Thank you very much John and Jim for this explanation! We had the same thing show up on one of Adrian's posts where he thought it was a spike and the crack extended to the edge of the coin. That made me think then that it was not a spike but I couldn't understand why or what it was. Now this is making sense! Let me look back to find Adrian's thread because I can't remember what happened... whether it got listed or if that was one that JC requested more pics.Comment

Here's the link to Adrian (Coin5) thread. I'm thinking that his find is not related to this at all. His looks more like PSD to me and the shiny cent is making pics difficult.
