HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 25180 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 9:46 pm Looks more like a lamination than a die crack. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95936 Posts	Posted 07/28/2023 10:25 pm I'll split the difference and say it is a Lamin-crack. (Crackenation?) I see a lamination above and to the right of the head, and die cracks on the head (RIDB?) Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/29/2023 07:15 am RIDB is what I think, not a broken die per say. Your pics are lacking a bit, please work on that. In focus better quality photos are helpful. The better the photos you post the better we can help you. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
