KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/16/2008 8:48 pm cool...I think I can see some shifting on each side of the ~~crack~~ break, so perhaps that die was on the brink of failure? Edited by KurtS 09/16/2008 9:42 pm Report this Post to the Staff
seattleMD Valued Member United States 405 Posts	Posted 09/16/2008 8:53 pm I believe if it extends from one edge to another edge and there is shifting, it's considered a die break. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 09/16/2008 9:48 pm seattleMD: I'm not sure if the "crack" goes from edge to edge. I know it's definitely at the edge by the first L in Dollar. It looks like it does actually extend into the U of quarter, but its so fine after that, I'm not sure it's going to the edge by the Q in quarter or not? Here are 2 more pics.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/17/2008 08:38 am Duckhawk, die cracks are considered a normal part of the minting process and do not normally carry a premium. There are some exceptions such as a die crack on a proof coin or a die break which is much larger than a crack and happens right before die failure. Report this Post to the Staff
