biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/26/2008 10:00 pm The raised line running from the rim to the corner of the Memorial just beneath the designer initials is the starting point. The crack runs along the base and then up the right side of the stairs into a retained chip. Probably not too many strikes after this coin, the retained portion fell out the die, creating chipped die strikes. A lamination would not appear as a line raised up from the fields, it would be a jagged crevice or a raised layer of metal. Report this Post to the Staff
