jprine Pillar of the Community United States 1599 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 9:50 pm Of the many things about coins that I do not know well (or at all for that matter) is die breaks. When I first saw this coin, I thought it was a scratch. Then I looked at the reverse and it looked the same in the same location. Then I saw the rim. So not sure what else this could be but a break, so, am I right? It is also an rpm but I haven't worked on that yet. Report this Post to the Staff

Chronoswiss Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 10:17 pm If it was wire cutters wouldn't there be damage to the raised surfaces (one, we), and the rim? Definitely PMD from a roller though. Too bad. Report this Post to the Staff
