wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 11:37 am Sorry I thought I did a discription but didnt take for some reason. These three coins all have the same date 1936 and the same break in the are in Liberty. The bottom left of the are is not there in each of the tree coins. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 12:05 pm That's not a die break. It is most likely just a Grease Filled Die. A little grease/debris built up in the recess of the letter "R" of LIBERTY in the die, which did not allow metal to flow into that recess when the coin was struck. These are common. There is no added premium. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 2:35 pm Part of the hub that forms the leg of the are in LIBERTY has broken off. The result is that several of the dies used by this hub have the missing leg. Thus they could be from different dies because of the hub damage. If it were die damage the legs would be there with an chip between them. As coppercoins said, it is hub damage. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/22/2011 7:24 pm I would say no as it show on a large number of dies making it common. Hubs are a positive image. Damage to them would removes devices. Die chips add an unformed area on the coin making it raised because the dies are negative. damage to them affect the field areas.
