<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marshall, post: 3189051, member: 21705&quot;]I found an example in the Heritage Auction Archives from October 2006 which shows the die Crack of State III and what appears to be the beginning of the crack from the berry to the bottom of A. It&#039;s not strong enough on it&#039;s own, but as an indicator of the die progression after III, it is evidence that the crack seen on yours may very well be a later crack and not PMD.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]822867[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]822869[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I might be more visible on yours since yours is the only one of the late states which is not weak at OF and the tip of the bust. Perhaps a correction of axial misalignment just before discarding the die. </p><p><br /></p><p>This could also explain what appears to be an extensive die crack at the top of TES OF which cannot be seen in other examples of State III.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
