This is just a general question to all members. What is the difference between a die crack and a die break,yes I checked http://www.error-ref.com/ but I found it a bit confusing. John1
@John1 Great question. I found error-ref a bit confusing as well. Not sure if it helps any, but I found an old Coin World article indicating that a die crack eventually becomes a break.
"Bill Fivaz explained in a Collectors' Clearinghouse column from the July 6, 2009, issue of Coin World that a die break is "progressive in nature"; it begins as a die crack, then grows to a break as the damaged die continues to be used."
