Roagan New Member United States 48 Posts	Posted 08/05/2021 09:02 am As I have been new to looking at coins in found a couple coins that have die crack lines. One dime I found has die crack you can barely see with naked eye but when you view magnified there are several cracks crossing in two opposing directions making an x trough the forehead and hair. Maybe I'm just too anxious to find more than $3 value from a 1990s p&d set Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8767 Posts	Posted 08/05/2021 09:50 am Different folks mean different things when they say "modern". I've always considered memorial to date modern. Regardless, I think it needs to be extreme to add much of any value. I found several 2019P shields with a nice break at the date and sold them for a hefty premium, for a time but the premium fizzled in a few short weeks.

If I need magnification to see an anomaly, to me it's probably a spender. If I can see it without magnification, it's a candidate to keep. Report this Post to the Staff
