spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 03:23 am It looks like you have three reverse die cracks. Upper Memorial left, upper Memorial right and lower Memorial right. It's not highly unusual because these are stress points on the die. The lower right one is interesting because it seems to travel upward into the Memorial. I would call it a keeper. By the way, is it copper or zinc (thinking copper)?

Mrzllewellyn Pillar of the Community United States 1901 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 03:39 am That die crack on the top left and the one on the bottom right I wonder if they ever made a rim to rim they make a straight line with eachother. Report this Post to the Staff

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 08:47 am I've seen other mentions of die cracks in some of those locations. So they are not uncommon. Nice coin with 3. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 10/06/2017 12:59 pm Because of the depth of the memorial in hubbing process, usually first in series of hubs(center out?) and proximity to edge, then throw in die metal flows outwards causing a stretching of devices as they approach closer to the rim is the reasons cracks appear here on the corners most often. Also why so many "spiked/cracked heads" or lightning strikes on Monticello's dome, or letter/number devices near rim, or... "...and the beat goes on..." Report this Post to the Staff
