<p>[QUOTE=&quot;anderspud, post: 2313613, member: 76147&quot;]SuperDave.&nbsp; The supposed identified die crack is as cracked as its authors.&nbsp; I have never been so sure in identifying the thin curvature below the double LL as being the same as the coin rim. This was not guess work.&nbsp; I was able to define secants for the curved line of the mark on the coin with an equal secant of the coins rim and saw that they had the same radial distance to their circles.&nbsp; Try the measurement yourself.&nbsp; (It will be easier if you had someone hold a piece of paper on your screen for you.&nbsp; Then you could measure the radius going from the center of the secant to its circle.&nbsp; You could do it more accurately if you got the coin image on paper.&nbsp; (I was unable to print out the image.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have stewed about how this could happen but presume at some point dies and coin have to be separated.&nbsp; If the new coin was lying down with the Obs looking up it might be easy for its die to go off center and rest on the coin.&nbsp; This likely would be heavier on one side.&nbsp; Coming from the press at a high temperature and having a thin layer of oil could easily make that faint circular mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>This also may be an example of people finding what they want, like a DD, and seeing evidence the way they want it to be.&nbsp; We often don&#039;t see what an owner of a coin sees.&nbsp; (I&#039;ve put my hard hat on in anticipation of reactions.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
