Hello I Am New Here From Virginia With Question

The problem with that thought is after a time, you realize that these die events like chips, cracks and such are also common. On a die crack, if it was early in the die's life, then all coins after that are showing the advancement of the die crack, chip and they get worse. So there could be hundreds of thousands of coins from the same die that show the same crack, break and eventually on some Cuds. When they turn into Cuds the interest picks up. But until then, they are a common event. In time we realize this and no longer are intrigued about them any longer.

Dies are not pulled for cracks, chips and sometimes breaks. Some dies are used a long as they hang together. After a Cud they still use them for a time.

Machine Doubling varies from strike to strike.

I found these in OBW rolls and they show the same die marker. So the difference was the die movement during the strike.

If someone will pay for them then they are worth more-all you need for a market is a buyer and seller. I personally would not pay a premium for them and I dont collect them but just saying.(that said I have found a few cases of extreme MD that I do believe I kept)

"Dem's fightin' words!"

Here's my 2 cents (coming from a guy who spent 42 years in Retail): Value is in the eye of the beholder and can be difficult to transfer to someone else. Meaning that if you have the coin and like it, it has value to you. You can try to sell an item that you like, but unless a buyer finds value in owning that item and wants it, it most likely won't be easy. But if 2 people want it, it is a sellers market.
