snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1920 Posts	Posted Today 2H 37M ago Just found this one CRH Overall, very nice shape. But what's up with the "bar" in the lower part of 8? Anyone ever see that before? Also, just deterioration (and wishful thinking) or do you think there's a possibility of DDO on the U in TRUST? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 80520 Posts	Posted Today 2H 26M ago Interesting find. Maybe a Die Chip forming in the 8? I don't know honestly. It's a hard one. As far as the doubling goes, I think it's just wishful thinking. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6971 Posts	Posted Today 1H 45M ago It's hard to say. My first thought would be a clash remnant in a difficult to polish area. But there's nothing on the reverse to clash there. Is it possible that the post of the lower 8 suffered a crack? That line is rather thick for a die gouge or die scratch, and it doesn't extend from either side. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 110292 Posts	Posted Today 1H 37M ago Maybe a die dent? But nice find of the DDO Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
