Reverse AI Die Crack Mapping



Primary Die Crack (Click Image To Enlarge)


Obverse 35 is observed with date placement at RH.

Reverse AI has cracked, with a severe primary die crack located between 7:15 and 9:15.

Comments:  Variety 33 was first identified by David Killough, who submitted the above plate coin during late June 2024 for inclusion in this book based on the die cracking of Reverse AI

Severe die cracking, such as that exhibited by the primary die crack of Reverse AI, generally portends a future die break within the area defined by the die crack.
