<p>[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1417560, member: 22585"]Thanks guys. It makes me think about how many more could have been struck before the die just fell apart completely. I really do not know much about the minting process. When a die is cracking are there countermeasures they do to a die to try and extend it's life? Or do they pretty much just use it till it breaks completely? These cracks certainly give it some character.</p><p><br /></p><p>On that note, is this one near a die failure you think?
