jolson Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 02:22 am Does anyone have any idea what caused the dent in the "N" in the word "ONE" ? I will admit I do not know much about errors but something tells me that maybe this might be more then after market damage.... any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

chzman Pillar of the Community United States 1137 Posts	Posted 01/31/2014 09:13 am Cracks in the die, will be raised on the surface of the coin, they would not show up as dents on the surface of your coins, just the opposite would happen during the minting process. To make an imprint or dent into the surface of a coins device, something must be in the way of the striking die, grease, debris, cloth, another coin etc... I attached a pic of what a real die crack would look like on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
