CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 04/20/2019 9:10 pm Another find CRH today. Nothing big and probably not a keeper for me, but an interesting find. I have never seen a die crack in this spot, and it seems like a low pressure area for the die to crack. It is raised above the surface and has the usual qualities of a die crack. No other Die breaks of any kind except for a die chip or two are found on this coin. Also, the obverse and reverse pictures would not upload no matter how many times I tried uploading new ones. Sorry about that! Thanks for taking a look. -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75050 Posts	Posted 04/21/2019 12:12 am I wonder if the die was too brittle? Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
