sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 02/06/2018 5:27 pm Die breaks show up as a ridge on the coin, not a valley. Lighting appears to come from the top of the coin. To assure yourself, check with other examples of this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

thomas jefferson Valued Member United States 123 Posts	Posted 02/07/2018 8:23 pm Here is the best picture I could come up with. As I look a little closer, it appears to be indented into the coin as opposed to a raised area. Report this Post to the Staff
