<p>[QUOTE="Only a Poor Old Man, post: 5393351, member: 111037"]I can't comment with certainty about the crack getting worse in transit, but these type of coins very often come with such problems. In my recent example that can be seen below the damage pattern is very similar and it seems that it was caused by the dotted die border which probably put too much pressure on the thin curved flan. When I cleaned the coin though, another surprising crack became evident on the obverse in Jesus' halo right under the IC legend. I don't think anything will get worse though if I don't apply any more pressure to the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1232173[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
