Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 01/25/2022 10:44 am This one is graded MS66RD by NGC and is nicely toned for a red. I bought it because of the big die crack on the reverse and when I got it I noticed the retained interior die break. I looked to see if it was listed and this would be the earliest RIDB listed on COC. It also has some sort of strike through on the shoulder. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/25/2022 11:01 am I'd call that a retain die break. Although there is not enough metal missing to call it as break, it is retained by the die cracks. Since we don't call these a retained die crack, I guess it would be a retained die break. The area is retained. Interesting. Edited by coop 01/25/2022 11:45 am Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34410 Posts	Posted 01/25/2022 11:22 am Lots going on with these dies! Compared to all those die cracks, it is hardly worth mentioning, but I think there might be a small die chip on the lower part of the left wheat stalk.
