CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 9:01 pm A find from a roll of mixed 1950`s Wheaties from my LCS. It looks like it may be die cracks that will eventually turn into an Interior die break? Or is it already an interior die break? Not really experienced with the IDBs. Ay help is appreciated.
