cjartist Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 09/20/2014 4:21 pm Are these die breaks on either side of the 'S' in "PLURIBUS" and again above the second 'U' in "UNUM"? I got the coin as an "about uncirculated" example from Provident Metals a few years ago. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/21/2014 11:00 am Very unlikely to be die breaks - something that prominent would have been seen and documented before. That said, although I see what might be a little involvement in the S, the second you in UNUM kinda looks like it struck fully around the "problem." So the possibility of a planchet issue remains open in my mind, but it'd take some pretty serious detail images to clarify for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
cjartist Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 09/22/2014 8:28 pm Unfortunately I don't have a camera good enough for a closer picture. I do have a loupe, which I should have used before posting. The areas aren't elevated, so I guess they could be some form of damage. But I think it's weird that particularly for the one above the second you it seems to form around the devices instead of through them. And they run right up to the rim and stop.
