Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 10:56 pm All three of these came from the same handful of change. They don't all have the same cracks,but they are in the same area of the coin.They must have had the pressure turned up I'm guessing(?),or just weak points in the die? #1 #2 #3 Report this Post to the Staff

Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 07:34 am Awwww man, now I have to pull my 2016 dimes back out and check for cracks. :) Thanks for the idea! Pretty cool die cracks. Report this Post to the Staff
Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 07:52 am Well,I doubt that they are worth anything above the 10 cents in value.I just thought it odd I found three dimes in the same change with similar cracks and thought I'd share. Thanks for looking. Report this Post to the Staff
Lembafc Valued Member Korea, Republic Of 489 Posts	Posted 01/16/2017 07:54 am I save all die cracks I find. Not because they are more than face value, but because its fun to compare and contrast them. I do the same with coins that are struck off center (by even 1-2mm). Report this Post to the Staff

Hehehe,so do I.Until the Wife says She needs some change.Then it's back too the wild. Quote: coop:They may have been all from the same die pair. I don't Think so.On My computer I can look at them side by side and none of the cracks match up. I guess I need to learn how to do side by sides. Quote: oldmike:Nice coins, and nice photo's. What do you use? Thanks mike!Yeah,it looks like they just came out of the roll,when the Wife brought them home. I use a Cannon,EOS Rebel T5.With the standard 18-55mm lens,and a copy stand RedGreen would be proud of. I mainly use axial lighting.Which consist of a piece of clear plastic taped to a 45 degree carpenter square.Not sure exactly what they are called.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/19/2017 03:04 am There is a (very small) die chip on the rim by the top of the head area, that is on both coins. So the die cracks may have increased. So the one with more die crack will have been struck later in this dies life. They probably did turn up the pressure. A die crack is the start of the issue, then more appear. It kind of like a nail in your tire. It may take time for it to go flat, or it just goes flat quickly. The weight of your car did change. The event on how it happened could have been different. So die can fail slowly or quickly. It just happens. Edited by coop 01/19/2017 03:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 01/19/2017 07:37 am Okay,kinda like a windshield of a car.A tiny chip from a rock starts it,the heater on one side of the glass and the cold of winter on the other.Depending on how cold(pressure on the blank) it is outside,determines how fast the crack advances. Thanks coop! Report this Post to the Staff
