Nice coins. Even the specimen dies for the decimal coins had die cracks. Those came from annealing (softening) and quenching (hardening) the dies, not striking the coins. Don't have it in front of me, but I think I documented at least three cases of cracked specimen one cent dies in Past & Nearly Perfect (still for sale by the RCNA, if you want one). If anyone wants a signed copy, I will be doing a book signing at the RCNA in Halifax this week.
