halfabustisbetter Pillar of the Community United States 1984 Posts	Posted 01/18/2009 6:57 pm Yes, it's a die crack, but I had thought previously that side was considered the obverse? Or have I been backwards? Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 01/18/2009 7:03 pm As far as my understand goes, the side with the date and or portrait is normally considered the obverse Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 01/18/2009 8:02 pm I have always understood that for coins with a coat of arms but no portrait, the side with the coat of arms is the obverse. Thus for German, Austrian and Russian coins like this, the "eagle side" is the obverse. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
