TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 11/07/2008 3:26 pm for probably the first time in history, 'll ask: could you pull back and show the full coin at a lower magnification? I think it may be a die clash. Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/07/2008 10:20 pm I like that one...and I almost think I see a second, finer crack to the left? Is the field of the coin on either side of the large crack at a slightly different level? Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 11/07/2008 10:34 pm There is a crack to the west of the larger raised crack. There is also a crack just southeast near the initials and what looks like one that was polished at top center of the Lincoln Memorial.
