<p>[QUOTE=&quot;charlottedude, post: 919605, member: 26010&quot;]The thin mark running from the fraction bar to the reverse rim is a die scratch, not a die break.&nbsp; There is a difference.&nbsp; The die did not break/begin to fail.&nbsp; The scratch would&#039;ve been made sometime during the die preparation process and is a diagnostic for every known example to include both early and late strikes.&nbsp; Same indications of die recutting I mentioned above are noticeable on the &quot;1&quot; in the OP&#039;s close up pic.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see any indication of other doubling to the date in the OP&#039;s close up pic.&nbsp; The date looks exactly like all the other examples I&#039;ve seen, with the exception of wear/handling differences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
