georok Valued Member Greece 152 Posts	Posted 09/14/2016 09:55 am @numisma, my hypothesis: first of all ,if it was fractured at obverse as well, it would have become 100 pieces and never released for circulation. The cracks must be vertical and started progressing from reverse Report this Post to the Staff
