XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 05/21/2008 2:56 pm I found this 1940p nickel roll hunting, I'm wondering if it is a die break or post mint damage. Any input would be greatly appreciated. -XoG Image: 1940diebreak.jpg 44.97 KB Edited by XavierOfGreen 05/21/2008 2:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 05/21/2008 4:49 pm Its heavily worn condition precludes a definitive answer. But I strongly suspect it's post-strike damage. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/21/2008 5:53 pm XOG: I have to agree with Vaslin on his call. One way to be sure is to check obverse edge opposite the Cud. See if there is weakness in design there also. If it is a Cud that part of the die broke off. The opposite edge has nothing to press with in that area so it leaves a weakness there. Let us know what you find. Report this Post to the Staff

NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 05/21/2008 9:44 pm I would have to say post mint damage, there is as Mike says, too much wear for a definitive answer. Try looking at the rim from the side and see if it looks flattened. Edited by NGiles 05/21/2008 9:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff
