Picked this up as part of a bulk buy. 2 raised lines that appear to be molten copper/metal.

Anyone know what may have caused them and if they have a name or are they simply cracking of the Die.?

I haven't seen this on a Coin before,normal fractured Dies seem different to these.

I'm no expert but this wouldn't be one of those Chinese knock offs would it?

Basilstate

I don't think so gweidon,appears genuine but i haven't seen die-cracks so severe before.

Unicorn

Very pronounced indeed Basil! Great pickup  :yahoo:

echidna

Great radial die cracks.
Haven't seen that on a 25 before.

Basilstate

Thanks fellas,very deep,the Die must be close to shattering with the pressure from them both.
