nlp coins Pillar of the Community United States 2373 Posts	Posted 04/04/2009 10:48 am Has anyone noticed what appears to be a die crack around the initials RM, left side reverse? I found two which are similar, perhaps the occurrence were in different die states. I did my best with the pics. The first two pics show a crack from the lower apex of the letter M heading southeast. The second two pics show a horizontal crack from the rim through the letter R and across the left vertical of M. From there it follows the similar path of the first set of pics only is three times the length, stopping ~ .030" from the letter O in ONE. Any feedback or additional info would be appreciated. nlp Early state of die crack? Progressed state of die crack?

Jim Archibald Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/05/2009 08:59 am Good call Coop, I still haven't seen any in circulation. I've also been checking ebay for major Mint errors and haven't seen anything worthwhile yet. This surprises me because usually guys like Fred Weinberg have things listed before the regular coins reach circulation. ~ Jim Report this Post to the Staff
