Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 12/13/2015 5:36 pm I would call it an interior die break on the T and the lower left side of wheat ear I think but we'll see what others say Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: At what point or size does a chip become classified as a crack ? A chip is just a dip in the die, a gouge is the same, but larger. The die crack is linear. All three appear raised on the coin because they are incuse on the die. All three can be classified as a break in the die. Edited by CoinMasters 12/13/2015 10:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/15/2015 5:08 pm I don't see the die breaking at this point. This may have started as a die crack then started to chip away on the die and kept growing. But I don't view it as a die break yet. It hasn't spread outward enough. http://www.error-ref.com/?s=break Report this Post to the Staff
