<p>[QUOTE=&quot;justafarmer, post: 24606112, member: 3926&quot;]With all due respect, I find the broken &quot;R&quot; to be a dubious die marker. On a die the coin design is represented by the void left in the die. It is really nothing more than a hole in a metal rod - it has no mass and occupies no space. Therefore the &quot;R&quot; is nothing and if it is nothing then it can&#039;t be broken. I hope all of this makes sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now to qualify my above statement. The broken &quot;R&quot; exhibited on this coin could originate from the working Hub. On a hub the coin design is represented by the metal remaining on the Hub. It has mass and occupies space and can be broken or polished away. If absent from the Hub the design feature will not be transferred to the die. </p><p><br /></p><p>DDO-011 is a doubled die - therefore the broken &quot;R&quot; Working Hub was squeezed twice into the die. Which indicates many more broken &quot;R&quot; working dies should have been created making the broken &quot;R&quot; a common characteristic of 1936 Lincoln Cents. Is the Broken &quot;R&quot; common in 1936?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
