Gronkikachi New Member Cuba 27 Posts	Posted 10/31/2015 02:35 am Take a look at this brand new Cuban 1 peso coin! Obviously something was not working properly when they struck this coin! It features three visible scars across its surface. I guess dies was cracked? In yuor opinion, does this error make this coin more or less appealing/valuable? PS: these are the newest circulating Cuban 1 peso coin, showing a new design of the bust of Jose Martí, hero of the Cuban independence. Report this Post to the Staff

Gronkikachi New Member Cuba 27 Posts	Posted 11/09/2015 02:19 am Thank you for your reply, guys. Maybe the Cuban mint use of aluminium and brass for new coins have anything to do with this too? Errors seem more frequent now. They were harder to find in old Cu-Ni or silver coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Sometimes you can get interesting and massive die cracks like these two: My partial coin collection http://www.omnicoin.com/collection/gxseries My numismatics articles and collection: http://www.gxseries.com/numis/numis_index.htm Regularly updated at least once a month.
