<p>[QUOTE="Jim-P, post: 7557710, member: 118020"]This one caught my attention... I was moving some coins from flips and 3-ring binder holders into snaptites and taking some USB microscope pictures. As I looked at "UNITED STATES" on the reverse of this one, I thought, that's an interesting font they used, almost looks like a spike through the "S". Researching die cracks, found they're prevalent in the 23-S and maybe even Peace dollars in general. Although I couldn't be sure, I was ready to chalk up the line across the whole word "STATES" as a scratch but now I'll call it a die crack. Looked at a bunch of pictures on-line but didn't see the die gouge that looks like a spike through the "S".</p><p><br /></p><p>What did the mint do on these, keep stamping them out until the die breaks or eventually someone decides they look defective and puts in a new die?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]1303404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1303406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]1303407[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
