brefos77 Pillar of the Community United States 792 Posts	Posted 01/17/2009 12:26 am Notice the crack near the 10 o'clock position. I would've said post mint, but it runs behind the "E" in United. What is this called and what causes it? Report this Post to the Staff

Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5611 Posts	Posted 01/17/2009 11:11 am just a thought, is it not possible that this coin is showing a broken die that was repaired and not polished well enough to remove this obvious sunken weld or repair mark on the die, the letters E and T have the "impression " in them also?

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/18/2009 08:15 am The bigger the object struck through the better. The older the coin the better. It just takes the right buyer to appreciate it. I want to thank who posted the last image of the dime. It is a great educational tool! All can learn from it. Report this Post to the Staff
