<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2207012, member: 19250&quot;]Yes very true however&nbsp; one must remember&nbsp; at the Philly&nbsp; mint anything&nbsp; could&nbsp; happen .&nbsp; I&#039;ve&nbsp; seen&nbsp; more screw up &#039; s and strange things come from Philadelphia&nbsp; mint. It&#039;s&nbsp; not&nbsp; a&nbsp; die break.it is a digit . I&#039;m&nbsp; going to give it a soak one day this coming&nbsp; week ,and see if I can get some better&nbsp; images.</p><p>One&nbsp; thing I always find amusing is whenever&nbsp; someone can&#039;t&nbsp; explain&nbsp; something , even the experts&nbsp; it always falls back to&quot; oh it&#039;s&nbsp; a die break &quot; </p><p>Case in point a shield nickel&nbsp; where there were lines on the obverse&nbsp; that ran across&nbsp; the coin at a 45 degree&nbsp; angle . The lines even broke in places and continued on the same path in another area. </p><p>Die breaks I was told and I don&#039;t&nbsp; buy it. As we are talking medal not wood that has a grain and breaks along the grain. Die breaks don&#039;t&nbsp; occur&nbsp; in a straight&nbsp; line. And stop and start on that same plane at will.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
