Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7519 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 3:47 pm This die crack from Bust to Rim ,travelling along the bottom edge of the Bust was quite common on 96-P Kennedy halves, in most cases it was paired with an additional die crack on the reverse which was extending from the tip of the Eagle's left wing ( viewers right) thru the M of AMERICA and onto the Rim. Check yours out, it looks like you might have it. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 4:55 pm The die is really aged. Note how the devices are smaller than normal? From over polishing, the fields get reduced on the fields. Reducing the fields makes the devices smaller in height and width. Also weakens the dies. So they have a better chance to crack.
