Is this a 2019 Roosevelt Die Crack error?

DD Posts: 1,997 ✭✭✭

Hey, I hope everyone is well, I haven't been on the forums in some time but recently came across a number of 2019 Roosies with the same die-cracked appearance.

Obverse, right-side. Sorry about the bad photos, they were taken via loupe and cellphone.

    Looks like a die issue but could just be die wear.

    Looks like a strike through to me, os something very thin like paper or other debris.

    For reference, I have 20 with the same mark, so a strike-through seems improbable.

    I viewed it on a different screen. It almost appears that the area between the crack and the rim is all raised ever so slightly. Does it appear this way in hand. Maybe an early retained cud?

    It appears to be the early stages of die cracking...I would need to examine it in hand under a microscope to be sure. Cheers, RickO

    Very strange placement for a die crack...but it sure as heck appears to be one.

    From the pics it looks raised and that would be a die break.

    Thank you for the responses, I will work to get some better photos this week, like I said I have about a half-roll of them that I found about two months ago.

    Any premium for a small die break on a handful of coins?

    Might be interesting to see the progression of the break. Starting small and getting bigger?
