vietnam-numismatique Valued Member Vietnam 61 Posts	Posted 04/22/2015 10:41 am Thanks for your ideas. But I used to think that a die break must have a raised line across the whole face, i.e from one point at the rim to another point at the rim of the same face? Report this Post to the Staff
SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 05/07/2015 1:43 pm There are different die break states. What you are thinking is at the late state, which mean the die will be shatter/break apart soon. Report this Post to the Staff

koinpro Pillar of the Community United States 1781 Posts	Posted 05/08/2015 10:30 pm It is NOT a die crack. Metal has been chased from the incuse scratch to the left of the piled up ridge to the right of the scratch. Metal being chased from the left to the right is most evident on this coin at 12:00 O'clock and at the scratch's lower extremity where beads have been chased into the ridge. The environmental damage this coin experienced after being buried in the ground (or similar) for many years hides the truth to a degree making it hard to make a call on this coin at first glance. But it is what it is. Edited by koinpro 05/09/2015 7:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
vietnam-numismatique Valued Member Vietnam 61 Posts	Posted 05/10/2015 05:15 am I think I am with koinpro's side after his explanation. Something crashed from left to right to caused the metal raised. Report this Post to the Staff
