coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/26/2019 12:24 pm That is not a broken die issue, but a struck through a piece of copper debris during the strike. They peel off after the strike. It is a minor error, interesting to know what they are: On your coin if this were a broken die issue, then the affected area would be raised like a die crack. Instead the opposite is happening, the breakdown of the debris is leaving incuse marks on the affected areas. Report this Post to the Staff
