<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lawdogct, post: 80156, member: 1476&quot;]Simplest way to determine if you have a die crack or a something else, is by looking to see if the &quot;error&quot; raised up, or if it is incused into the coin.&nbsp; Die cracks are always &quot;raised up&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; Will wait on the picts <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>As for the hap-hazard pattern of what your seeing, think of a die-crack much like what it looks like....a lightning bolt.&nbsp; Electricity always follows the path of least resistance, same goes with a die crack.&nbsp; A die crack is a essentially a stress fracture in the metal of the die.&nbsp; As pressure is put on it, crystaline structures in the metal break.&nbsp; The weaker structures will break before the stronger structures.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d guess that the die crack actually goes through the T, but without extreme maginification, you probably can&#039;t see evidence of it....and if the coin is circulated, that evidence probably wore off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
