I know die cracks,like die chips don't hold any premium usually but I need an example still so is this an actual die crack? It appears raised to me. Was hoping to find doubled die on it but don't think there is any, though these doubled dies are very small and would probably be impossible for me to see unless it was extreme Report this Post to the Staff

Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 1:44 pm I'm fairly certain it is raised. I see light refraction and shadow while looking at it from either side or head on. So if it's raised it's for sure a die crack? Looks like a decent one for my examples Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 2:56 pm Do you see a trench in the center of the mark. If so it is incuse. When a coin is cut it leaves a trench and the metal has to do somewhere, so it makes a wall on each side of the trench: A die crack is raised and irregular in shape. One is caused by damage to the coin. One is showing a die crack on a die. Both have not premium unless they are rim to rims through the center. (rare to find these.) Small ones are common. (Just die events) They don't retire the die, or make it a end of life for the die. The extreme are the interesting ones. The small ones, new ones go gaga over. To a seasoned collector, they are so plentiful they hardly get noticed. Edited by coop 08/17/2021 3:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 08/17/2021 3:05 pm As far as I can see there is no trench, it's so small that it's really hard for me to know for 100% with these kinds of things. Assuming it's a die crack there is just as much premium as a scratch lol(0) so I'll put it aside until I can clarify for sure. Report this Post to the Staff
