jvidal7443 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 11:15 pm Thanks! I was hoping it would be the $1,000,000 quarter but I'll take what I can get. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 11:26 pm If every coin that had a die crack was a million dollar coin, then a million dollars would not be anything anymore. So many, I don't even save them anymore. After you've seen your fill of them, then you realized they are a broken down die. Give me a EDS coin (Early-Die-State) coin.3/4 of the run of any set of dies, are the ones that I would not want. Give me a great looking coin. This: This: Report this Post to the Staff
jvidal7443 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 05/24/2018 11:45 pm I've actually got a dime that's so shiny it's almost mirrored. I couldn't figure out what it was. Maybe this? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 01:04 am Sounds like a proof dime. Kind of like this? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74679 Posts	Posted 05/25/2018 01:14 am Hold on a second. I was wondering if you can get closer pictures of the "I" in "Liberty" on your coin. That etheir is a Rim To Rim Die Crack or a Retained Cud (Die Break). Errers and Varietys.

jvidal7443 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 08:18 am Thank you everyone for your replies. Sorry I didn't reply sooner but I work very long hours. The line above the I is raised; not cracked. I'm not sure how a die crack works? Is it a raised line in the coin due to a crack in the die or something different? I'll submit some other pictures I took. If they're not clear enough I'll have to take another after work tonight. Report this Post to the Staff
jvidal7443 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 08:22 am Also yeah I think it is a proof. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 08:34 am Your coin is not a proof,it is a business strike. A die crack would leave a raised line on the coin. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
jvidal7443 New Member United States 14 Posts	Posted 05/26/2018 6:12 pm Not the coin in the picture. I'm referring to a different coin I mentioned in a reply. Report this Post to the Staff
