<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 3929922, member: 1765"]Sometimes. They are often caused by the flow of the metal tearing the die apart. Metal flows mostly from center to edge, and certain parts of the die are more vulnerable to cracks and chips than others, due to the design. The inside of the A could be such a part. It's also just as random a spot on the die as any other. The "BIE" Lincoln cent errors also demonstrate this, with the raised part of the die between the B and E being broken off due to metal flow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
