Collectinator Valued Member Canada 184 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 5:32 pm I was looking at some old Canadian pennies and I think I might have come across a die crack. Not completely sure but it sure looks like it. Report this Post to the Staff

Collectinator Valued Member Canada 184 Posts	Posted 03/15/2014 9:35 pm I saw that thing on the N after I posted the topic and I went to go see what it was. It must have been some little piece of dirt or something because it wasn't there when I went to check. Darn! Also, I was just wondering, do die scratches add any value to the coin?

lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 03/16/2014 01:32 am Generally no---unless a market is generated like the 1936 10 cent bar---which is a mere die crack but people pay a premium for it. Report this Post to the Staff
