amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 07/06/2007 5:56 pm I don't think that this coin is like yours,the copper can be pull off there a space between the end of the copper. Its like the copper cover pulled away with the die to me Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 07/07/2007 05:56 am Yes, you're certainly right amac44. It does beg to be pulled off of his coin, but I didn't want to suggest that yet! Report this Post to the Staff
amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 07/07/2007 07:51 am This is a pair of die crack that are the normal to me. The 1997 looks to be movable with a little poking Report this Post to the Staff
garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 07/07/2007 3:42 pm you wont find die cracks on coppercoins.com Chuck has no interest in them and don't post them. if the metal moves on your coin it is just a strike through that has not fallen off yet. you MAY have a premium in it if you find the right buyer. good luck Gary Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 09:44 am Amac - Your coin is a die crack, is common as such, and isn't worth a premium. For that reason, you didn't find one "listed" anywhere. Die cracks are a normal part of die wear. Report this Post to the Staff
amac44 Member United States 3242 Posts	Posted 07/09/2007 11:00 am ok but look like it would come off if I picked at it it must have bent over after minting I keep because I have seen a lot of die crack just not one like this one, I never will again I guess Report this Post to the Staff
