Is it a clash line from the lower right of the B to the E. Or is it a die break? It also extends out the top left of the B. Same effect on both. I appreciate your comments. Peace Roy

    The first stage of a BIE die break.

    @ifthevamzarockin well that makes sense. I snagged a roll of 1955-S at my local flea market for a buck and it was full of other rim die breaks, die chips and strong BIE's. It was a fun roll to go through with my usb microscope. Have a good weekend.

    What kind of USB microscope do you gave? I have thought about getting one, but as of yet haven't.
