spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/09/2017 10:33 pm The only thing I can think of is an interior die break (IDB). However, I'm not an expert.

cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 04/10/2017 12:12 am I have been looking into this for a while now, saving the 1973 cents I come across. I find that most of them that I find show this in the first couple of columns. Mike Diamond wrote something about this in Coin World. Here is a link to that article: http://www.coinworld.com/news/us-co...or.all.html# Report this Post to the Staff
