<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2503318, member: 1892&quot;]This one forces the question, &quot;I wonder how long the obverse die lasted after striking it?&quot; That is a <b>serious</b> crack by anyone&#039;s definition, and it is not all shown in these images. I suspect it travels further along the neck than is shown here, and if the disparity in breadth is too awful great along its&#039; length, one must also question what the actual condition of the die was at the moment of strike. Keep in mind, these are hardened steel dies, and there are very few ways to create a channel wide enough for such a crack....</p><p><br /></p><p>So, just how_far does that crack go? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
