magusxxx Valued Member United States 306 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 10:27 am I found this in the very first role I went through. It's so smooth it has to be a die break. Report this Post to the Staff

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 10:56 am Hi I would think if the line in question was raised and not smooth that would indicate a crack. I think a die break would have even more random raised areas around the line. Report this Post to the Staff
TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 10/24/2008 12:50 pm Yes, agreed a die break, and a very strong one at that. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/25/2008 11:49 am I don't think so. It is very strong, but does not extend past the edges of the banner. I would expect a heavy crack to extend on out into the die face. I haven't seen an AZ quarter yet. Is the banner raised and are the letters raised or incuse? Is the "die crack" raised or incuse?

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 10/25/2008 12:21 pm Banner raised, letters incuse. Crack going through A. Either a hit or maybe struck wire on the large impression. Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 10/27/2008 01:59 am I have 5 quarters,BU, but only one shows any marking like, or similar to, and it is bag marking. The marks on my coin are a bit left of the one on the "A", and the one that is near the "B" goes at a slight angle, but more to the right side of the "N". Due to the surface, it is very easy to make a lot of marks, and not mess up the "text"! Youwill find a die crack in the usual place: on the base of the bust, on the left portion of the raised area. The crack(s) will; run left, and down to the rim, and/or across to the braid, and then down to the rim. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
