  First time I've seen such a prominent die crack on a trade. Is this common for this year/mm?
  Seems very prominent and goes through actual details and raised areas of the coins not just the fields.
  What do y'all think of this crack?

  I think I'll report it.

  I wonder if the 'die crack' was intentional as an attempt to add a feature that may indicate authenticity.... Just a thought, probably not though.... Cheers, RickO

  Its possible, didn't even cross my mind it was a fake due to being thrown off by the die crack
