whatsthedillio Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 5:02 pm Ahh, I see what you mean. A crack would be all jagged and this is pretty smooth and mostly rounded. Report this Post to the Staff

whatsthedillio Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 5:25 pm As die gouges go, would this be one worth collecting? Am I right in assuming there would be more like it since it's in the die? I am one of those folks who has a bunch of mint boxes never opened. I might have another with halves from the same purchase (back in 2006). Report this Post to the Staff

I guess there would be more of them but at some point the gouge would wear down and disappear. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 04/30/2012 8:16 pm Of course I am no expert, but wouldn't a gouge of crack cause a depression and not a hump effect...? Report this Post to the Staff
