biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 11/10/2016 2:51 pm Yep, that is a common location for a die crack on LMCs. The four corners of the Lincoln Memorial are points of inherent weakness in the die design and are subject to repeated die cracks across a range of years and mints. Occasionally, you will find an LMC with cracks emanating from all four corners but it is typically just one or two. Edited by biokemist6 11/10/2016 3:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/10/2016 4:04 pm So what would be an uncommon spot on the reverse to have a die crack? The common spots are the two tops and the two bottom bases of the Memorial. Report this Post to the Staff
