coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 11:40 am A slight amount of an issue with a MAD setup of the obverse die. Looks like it is not enough thought to warrant a premium for this though. None of the devices are falling over the edge of the coin and I don't see a weakness on the reverse. If these events happened (which they didn't) it would look like this in order for it to be a collectable: Move on to the next coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 12:58 pm I see 1c worth of pocket change. A slight MAD doesn't add a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 1:09 pm I see weakness on "STATES OF" which is common in that area on Memorial cents. I also see a die crack on the reverse. There is a possibility of transitional errors on the 1983 cents, so be sure to weigh them. A Zinc cent weighs 2.5 grams while a 95% Copper cent weighs 3.11 grams. Save this as an example of a die crack. You can see how the line is raised instead of incuse, like it would be if it were a scratch on the coin's surface. Report this Post to the Staff
Natasha M Lovold New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 2:41 pm Well what I am seeing is the extra line next to the "I". It is clear to see from my view I just cant seem to get a good picture if it. Report this Post to the Staff
Fuzzy317 Moderator United States 14463 Posts	Posted 03/30/2017 8:00 pm as I stated above, that's probably just the result of a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 09:19 am Yes the line from the rim passing next to the I and joining the corner of the memorial is a die crack. Cracks are commonly seen at the corners of the building. They are high stress points in the die. Report this Post to the Staff
