<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 702082, member: 66"]Think about it. The design will have certain stress points and those points develop die cracks. Since the other years have the same design they tend to have the same stress points and will tend to develop cracks in the same places. When the mint notices this they will try to tweak the design slightly to reduced the tendency for the cracks to develop but there is a limit to what they can do. For example look at the reverse of the Lincoln they is those sharp corners were stress points and the die would memorial cent. There have been die cracks coming off the corners of the Memorial to the rim on every date and mint since it was introduced in 1959 til it ended in 2008. No matter what they did those sharp corners were stress points and the dies kept cracking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
