Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 09:20 am It makes them unfathomably easier to VAM! What year is your coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 09:52 am I believe those cracks should be great indicators to what specific VAM the coin is as soon as we know what date and mint mark the coin is Report this Post to the Staff
hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 12:03 pm Die cracks may add value to a coin for specific collectors because they add interest to the coin (IMHO), but generally, unless they are dramatic examples, cracks do not add value. Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 3:34 pm SuperDave can probably tell you exactly what VAM this is by the die cracks alone in the pictures, he is the 1921 Morgan I always go to for answers Report this Post to the Staff
Vaslin Pillar of the Community United States 914 Posts	Posted 08/10/2007 4:29 pm Take a look here and search the morgans for 'Die break'. http://vamworld.wikispaces.com/1921-D+VAMs Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 08/11/2007 08:22 am I know I've seen that pattern of cracks before, but they aren't enough to cause the coin to become a specific VAM. Die cracks need to be large enough to be called breaks before VAM consideration happens. Report this Post to the Staff
