<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rzage, post: 1884520, member: 14070&quot;]No , die cracks are lines , they are always raised as the metal was squeezed up thru the crack . They can be short , or long . They can circle the whole coin , or just cut a segment . Often there are more than one . Here&#039;s a Civil War Token that has the most die cracks as any I&#039;ve seen .</p><p><img src="http://www.civilwartokens.com/Content/listingImages/20131127/42080558-2121-4f1c-a01e-01ff101b0cbc_fullsize.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://www.civilwartokens.com/Content/listingImages/20131127/fec11b30-a6a9-4cea-80d5-29005bb1382f_fullsize.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Remember this is an extreme example , and the lines are thicker than most as this die was ready to shatter very soon . On regular US coinage the dies would have been retired way before it got to this point , there is a thread ,Show Me Your Die Cracks , that will give you examples of many different kinds .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
