It's a little unusual, but really...paying attention to die cracks and saving them as such is skipping the point. If you pay attention to hub doubling and repunched mintmarks as well as major errors, you won't find nearly as much, but your collection will grow into valuable coins.

I guess my thoughts are, With my luck at finding anything of any value are pretty slim, But I keep looking, So sometimes a worthless,stupid die crack is kinda soothing to all the letdown's of this hobby.
Just my thoughts,

How do you think I feel? First, I find fewer than two dozen valuable coins a year out of change, and I see over 35,000 coins a year...then I get to tell people the truth over a thousand times a year - dashing hopes of having found something valuable, because we all start in the same place, thinking everything out of the absolute norm has to be an error and has to be of some value.

This hobby is definitely NOT one of instant gratification. If anyone here is looking to find a fortune, pocket change is definitely NOT the place to be looking.
