BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 04/15/2015 8:36 pm Hey, I found all of these die cracks in 2 boxes out of 4 I picked up from the bank. Are these common or worth keeping? I'm not sure if I got 2 lucky boxes from someone that had turned them in or what. I'm thinking of keeping the best one from each year and making a set since all the cracks appear to be in the same place. I found: 1x1971, 3x1992D (one is different), 1x1993D, 1x1994P, 3x1995P, 2x1996P, 2x1997P, 14x1998P (three are different), 1x1999P, 2x2000P, 2x2001P These three extend up the neck up slightly passed the artist's signature: This one is from the bottom of the neck up towards the top of 'W' in "WE", it does not go passed the date like the others do: Report this Post to the Staff

This is why I'm going to make a set of the highest quality ones I find for each year; I think that would be pretty interesting. I would like to know if it would be worth keeping all of them though, I guess that depends how many I find in the next boxes I pick up and or if other members have found a lot of these. Unfortunately, none of them are as cool as this one that shows a crack across the obverse end to end: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1997-P-50c-...em3aa69708f9 Here you are SilverStackerKid: Report this Post to the Staff
