My Roll Hunting Error Collection!

and thanks coop. for some reason I'm not seeing all everyones post. everytime I click the thread it shows different pictures in different slots and posts come and go.lol.. haywire I tell you..

I'm noticing more die cracks of late, maybe more so since I started frequenting Traildies. I found 2 or maybe 3 2000 LMCs with the same die crack. Odd that they would be from the same CRH event.

I find them interesting...even if somewhat common. Some add nice character to a specimen.

I can appreciate that. If you need a break from your searching you might want to see the fun I had identifying my 1994-1DR-008 (earlier today). I wish I could readily see the date without glasses and holding it out at arms length. That's what makes die cracks interesting - you can see a majority of the good ones by eye.

this marks number 5 for the night I've found hunting and a nice looking 1992 very pronounced rev die crack

Those die cracks are fun to find but as you can tell they are pretty common and easy to find. I would not throw them back but at this time they really hold no value. The cracks to look for are the ones that turn into die breaks (Thick Cracks or Blobs on the coin connected to the crack) or the ones that go all the way across a coin, there is a term for it but I can't remember it right now. It basically means the die splits in half. The die would most likely be retired soon after crack was noticed. The one you have pictured is interesting but you would need to show some close ups of the crack so we can help you see what others are calling a cut. It is possible to have a crack go all the way across the coin, but as others have said the crack would not go into the rim and it would be raised with no cut in the coin pushing metal up. When I first saw your picture I got excited because it would be a cool find if it was not a scratch.

I gotcha. Thanks guys. I'm pretty happy with my finds last night. Especially that 62d lam

Unless I find one that's extreme doubling I just won't hardly tell on these wore coins I get that have any age on them.

Never said they were major finds. But there finds for me that I enjoy.

I just ordered a few thousand dollars worth of different denominations. I think I'll be ok with sticking $.10 worth of die cracks back into my collection.
Worst case I get a craving for a piece of bubble gum one day and cash it in along with another few common errors that I don't care about anymore. Lol

Bravo! Nice find. Still looking for a '98 and '99.

As I noted before, I appreciate the character a crack can give a coin. How about the Liberty Bell? Would it be as interesting a bell without it? Sure enough, the history of the bell prevails but the crack is...cool!
