<p>[QUOTE="mjorae, post: 67491, member: 3894"]well, the obverse, because of it's large rim, makes the coin appear to be sunk into itself.... where the top of the united states of america is slightly obliberated, the rim is similiar to a 'railroad" strike or whatever, but on the flat surface not on the rim surface. i don't know what the order of striking is in minting but it would appear that the reverse was srtuck first, the crack occured, then the obverse was struck. i'll try to send pics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
