Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/06/2017 02:03 am Yes it is, a nice one. Just had a "scientific" discussion about die cracks. They for on "weakened stress points on the die surface. That is why you see them form from the edge of a raised device, here the Memorial, other places a corner of a letter. Because of metal flow pressures they "migrate" (move) outwards towards the rim, which is actually the edge of the die itself. Nice pick up, not worth much as an error coin but fun to find and catalogue. Have to see if its in Cuds-on-coinshttp://cuds-on-coins.com/ Edited by Crazyb0 07/06/2017 02:09 am Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/06/2017 02:24 am Hey, you're up late Crazyb0. It's definitely a die crack and a nice size, too. Unfortunately, it doesn't carry any premium really. Still, it's a nice find!
