Spence Moderator United States 34448 Posts	Posted 10/07/2021 06:57 am Yes die cracks commonly form at sharp corners in the design, somewhat similar to this: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

There are some collectors who love die cracks--the more dramatic the cracks, the more excited they become. Consider saving yours in a 2x2 as an instructional piece. Report this Post to the Staff

sin113355 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 10/07/2021 10:57 am Thank you. I will buy some of these packages two place my pennies in. Where's the best place to post these kinds pennies to sell. And do you have any advice as to how I name the penny correctly. Any help would be really nice I don't know any of that stuff.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/07/2021 1:36 pm So on Spence's image, when you invert the image: If his image was a die, the cracks are incuse, thus they would be raised on a coin, like on my inverted image. That is why they are raised. The cracks are incuse on the die. (raised on the coins it strikes) Report this Post to the Staff
