rmpsrpms Pillar of the Community United States 4044 Posts	Posted 02/25/2015 09:28 am Going through my 1955-D rolls I found an interesting die crack/break going through the date. Looking in Cohen I see it is probably a later stage of 55D-D11 in the Misc Errors on Date section.

Silverworld11 Pillar of the Community 613 Posts	Posted 02/26/2015 05:42 am @CelticKnot,because the Die Crack was not strong where the impression of the 5 is. But a very close shot of the 5 would be the only way to know if that is right for sure. For the crack to show its self thur the 5 would depend on how deep the crack was when this coin was struck.

It sort of does snake along the vertical, and makes a level change as it goes through the curve. I'd need to show it at higher magnification to see it more clearly, but here is a sideways rendering that shows the level differences between the two sides of the break. You can see this level difference also on the lower curve. Contact me for photographic equipment or visit my home page at: http://macrocoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
