Spence Moderator United States 34531 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 08:52 am Those surface cracks are interesting and I'm not sure how they got there. I can't imagine that it did't happen after this coin left the mint though so my working theory would be that they are the result of damage. The arc going through the 8 in the date definitely looks more like damage to me.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/04/2019 8:32 pm Note sure about the cracks. It could have been even frozen at one time, but I don't think that should affect it. I bet it would be fun to put a coin into liquid nitrogen, and drop it on a cement floor to see what happens to it? Probably shatter? Report this Post to the Staff
