Any chance of getting an image or two with more/better lighting? Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12269 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 08:46 am Thanks for the additional images! From this clearer view, my eyes tend toward a planchet defect vs. a die break. I would expect a raised line on the coin's surface if it was created from a die that was cracked/broken, but I see the opposite here. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems.

MrBreeze Valued Member United States 357 Posts	Posted 04/28/2022 11:29 am @zurie - I agree- after looking with my loupe, the area in question are raised. Die crack and die break going on here. I haven't gotten into many commemoratives. Any one know if these issues were common on this series? Report this Post to the Staff
