ccg Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 It's a stressed die. If I'm not mistaken, there appears to be a die crack to the lower right of the Memorial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddio Posted July 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 yes i been told in the past that this was a lamination and not a die crack i had 3 of these i spent them..i have a 1975 that looks almost like this one ,,what causes a die to become stressed and in return giving some coins a blurry fuzzy type of a strike,,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 From the picture I would say die crack and not lamination. Dies ultimately get stressed and structurally fail over time. Just like most anything else - use brings wear and tear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
