Interesting that the '99 die crack has
progressed farther into the coin than the '00 crack. I thought that the progressive nature of a die crack means that a later die state sees the size (length) of the crack progressing to a larger crack as time went by and coins were pressed. Where you see a shorter d/c in 2000 is odd to me. In the ebay example - 1999, the d/c extends to the island whereas the 2000 example it fades in the field just NW of the A in CANADA.  How does this happen? Edited by SilverDon

How does this happen? Die cracks are generally progressive, they grow with time and use. However these are not from the same die.That these are in the same place indicates a flaw in the material or process used to make the die common to those years,or something peculiar to the striking method or equipment creating abnormally high stress in that area, or a combination of die and striking problems. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

DBM I have no ability to image the edge sorry.
The 1999 now fits between these two. Thanks to DBM.
Thank you Derek!

MM, I pulled aside early stage 1996-2000 of this DC where the crack is from the tip of the A to the beads, this pic is the 2000. PM me if you can use pics of the others or perhaps all of the coins. Jon DBM more proof of what you mentioned in your post here.  Edited by M_d_in_guy

PM sent MD.
My research shows me that as the die crack progresses it puts extra pressure (shear) on the collar as well cracking. With the reverse die and collar not being in the same location adjacent to each other the collar crack appears to spread slightly as is apparent on the flat of the rim in the two coins above. The same is evident on the 1996 5 cents with a very small reverse crack which also has damaged the collar.

Thanks Mike, PM replied to. I'll check the rest of my stash and see what else there may be along this line. That would be cool if you could get the complete stages of progression right to the very last when it was changed out, be it any or most of the years.

As I leave numismatics, it will be the need of understanding the causes and effects which bring a coin (or in this case a group) to where it/they are today that I will likely miss the most. A wonderful aspect of the hobby which too few are interested in.

This is an old subject, but it seems the 1999 has a very similar die crack compared to 1998 and 2000.   |

The '99 doesn't look like it affects any of the bead ... the others do. A die crack (or any metal crack) usually starts at a sharp change in angle .. in this case the bottom of the serif of the A .. the thinnest place on the die once struck.
