CGCoins Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 11/28/2012 9:21 pm Those are Die Cracks, not really rare, but slightly uncommon. Premium for massive cracks, or ones that cross the entire coin Report this Post to the Staff
smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 11/28/2012 10:08 pm Very nice die cracks. The more of them on one coin, the better. They occur when the die has been used so much that it starts to crack. Dies that develop cracks are in their last stages. Certainly keep all of them you find. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 05:11 am Personal preference I guess. Quote: Certainly keep all of them you find. Quote: slightly uncommon I disagree. The die cracks that the OP posted are very common on LMC's in those areas on the coin. If there were die cracks in unusual areas then I might keep them. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Windycity Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 08:27 am They appear to be "radial breaks" and though interesting, they add little value to coins other than silver dollars where the VAM collectors will sometimes pay a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 11/29/2012 09:20 am I think the 2009 shown above is a long plating bubble and is not a die break. I also agree minor die breaks are common enough to not have any collector value. But there is nothing wrong with keeping any coin you find interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
