Scuba1 Valued Member United States 356 Posts	Posted 06/13/2021 01:24 am Definitely looks like die cracks on the corners from your pics. Pretty cool but unless you have very dramatic die cracks there is usually not a premium. Just my HO....... Report this Post to the Staff
Tkklinner New Member United States 11 Posts	Posted 06/13/2021 01:29 am Thank you for letting me know. I thought it was neat but I have trouble determining whats damage and what is not. I'll have to check out some dramatic ones. Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 06/13/2021 01:38 am Four corners die cracks, neat. These are errors, not damage, but not much collectible unless they start to meet up. If a crack comes off one corner, goes up the column and ends at the other corner crack back to the rim, then you've got something. Minor die cracks are common, and 1983 has them even more than most years, but if they get extensive enough they can be pretty good error coins. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/13/2021 04:35 am Die cracks,yes. In common areas on the coin,yes. Added value,no.Die cracks only hold a premium if they are larger than most and if they are in "not" common areas on coins. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/13/2021 10:27 am I refer to these as die events. Just common things that dies go through. All part of the die aging process. Report this Post to the Staff
