Whose intent? Where is the authoritative source of intent? The original concept art from the artist is altered for political or mechanical reasons, the engraver may make a mistake, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would argue that if a die that has cracks is selected to strike coins, then that conveys <i>intent</i> to produce a coin as struck. Certainly there have been times when the mint has chosen <i>with intent</i> to strike coins with completely shattered dies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
