    The line appears incuse and the metal pushed up along the line. If so, then it is probably a heavy PMD scratch.

    If there is no metal pushed up then it might be strike through something?

    Think it is a worn heavy scratch.

    I'm afraid that looks like a looooong scratch.

    It is nothing more than a deep scratch on a well circulated coin.

    I can understand the scratch. But what about the crack.

    A scratch with a thinner scratch on top is a scratchy scratch. Time to study up. Peace Roy

    Where is the crack you see?

    That is PMD ... a deep scratch that has been worn a bit by handling in commerce. Cheers, RickO
