<p>[QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 5428231, member: 23122"]The Details in the Working Die are incuse, so that when the Planchet is struck the metal is forced into the recessed areas; if there is a Crack (or Die Chip or Broken Die) the metal will be forced into that area and if there is enough of a metal flow the resulting raised metal feature (i.e. Crack) may be higher in relief than the Mintmark, which is what I observe on the OP's Image.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
