I figured that Seated Liberty Halfs would be ideal. with a mintage not too high, but high enough to not ruin me.
and would be nice to find nice cracks to collect.
Actually, the 1840-O would be pretty good...If I settle for a set of 10, it would cost me too much..

VERY cool progression of 2 die cracks! I like the very big one through the eagle's right (as we're looking at it) wing.(And man! What a die crack!) And you can see the smaller one through the H in HALF progressing too! Nice!
But, it looks like none of my 1840 O's are going to help you with this die disintegration. Sorry!

maybe I should make it a digital collection, sooo much easier. Start it as a digital collection and then try and locate physical specimens to match the die stages in you digital collection. The digital collection will let you know what you are looking for. |

Thats actually a great idea. I love looking at die cracks, don't think I have any on any of my coins. I personally like the idea of a collection of the progression of die cracks, it would make for a neat presentation.

I got 9 so far of my 1840-O cracks. Some of them are really close. So I'll start browsing the web looking for more cracks before I start sorting them...
a fun project, indeed

Found one more and started sorting them out.... To indicate the progression of the cracks I looked at: 1. Between T and A in States down to the wing 2. From H in half and up 3.Crack between eagle's left wing and neck How do you think I did? From least to most cracked: 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10  |

Bust halves seem to have a lot of specimens with die cracks. More so for Liberty V nickels. Both series would be great for putting together a progressive die crack set. |
