Cant tell as i really dont know how.....but figured id post. Also anyone think its worth anything? Its 1998-D and its got a minor ring from the rolling process....aside from that its a beauty.

can't really tell, those aren't real great pics. Set it on a table and try taking a pic, lot easier

sorry, all cell phone pictures.....tried everything this is the best i can do. Best viewed from an angle. dont have a digi

 

[alpha105]

any guesses out there.....pattern seems too random for a scratch, and the angle view shows better which usually means raised in my experience.....if it is any ideas on value?

A die crack would have a raised piece of metal where the crack is coming out of the coin. Any indentation on the coin itself is not a die crack. Again the metal has to be raised.

You should take a picture under a bright overhead kitchen white light. I have found a nice 1999-D BU die crack right across the obverse before but unfortunately the coin had end of the roll counting wheel damage. Totally ruined it for me since PCGS doesn't grade those.

If yours is a die crack, I would guess around $20 to $35 bucks?

i believe its raised.....shines too much under the light to see anything on my phone =(. when i run a pen cap over the top (lightly) it forces the pen up as though on a bump

Looks like a die crack then.

Do you have a scanner on your printer? if so turn off all the lights and scan it with the lid open. should give us a lot better image

 

[alpha105]
