I found dozens of these when I was searching bags of 2005 CA SQ&#039;s. The break begins below the surface of the die. When it does, the surface of the die steel is raised slightly, thus creating a small depression on the coin. Eventually, it will break away from the die which creates the complete die break on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Whenever you are searching bags of same-date/mm coins and you find one or more coins with such a depression, you hope that you will eventually find one with the full-blown break.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
