Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5404 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 09:50 am To answer your question , yes and no. Depends on where and what. Ie. The so called 1936 Bar 25 and 10 cent coins are simply die cracks at the bough on the reverse and currently trade for a premium. On an otherwise Gem coin some people would pass and look for a piece with no cracks. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't go seeking them but if I am to find a coin with one I will keep it or buy it for the right price. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 12:16 pm I agree with whats said and would add that die cracks where much more common on coins a long time ago. A good die crack on one of todays coins would fetch premium especially if it was in just the right spot. IMO Report this Post to the Staff
Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 03/05/2015 7:44 pm I collect error coins and were it one I was looking for I'd pay a premium for it. Report this Post to the Staff
pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 8:54 pm Some die cracks can be rather large and spectacular -- I'd certainly pay a premium for those. Or if a collector collected die progressions, you'd see some interest in trying to get a "run" for a certain die pairing. Yours are nice; IMHO I'd keep them. Report this Post to the Staff
