Eagle_Eye Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 07/28/2021 09:40 am I like that. Zooming in on the last picture, you can see a faint crack running down the stairs and turning towards and running to the rim. The top has another nice crack extending towards the rim. Almost a pre-cud. Thanks for sharing. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97725 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 09:20 am from a distance the chip on the left of the building looks like it could have been a bush and part of the design - Until you zoomed in and showed the close-up.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 12:23 pm So the planchet was a little light and that made the design weaker a bit. Also the medium die chip also took some of the metal that was there, also making the obverse weaker. Edited by coop 07/29/2021 12:24 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Eagle_Eye Valued Member United States 55 Posts	Posted 07/29/2021 1:09 pm Hi CoinHI, I'm glad I helped. For the people who don't see the cracks, look closer. If you look at the right side of the Memorial, where that die break is, you can see the polished out remains of a die clash. There is a raised horizontal line in that right side doorway directly in-line with the top of the die break. I don't just look at a coin, I study them. EE Report this Post to the Staff
