I have had this dime for many years and just noticed the die cracks. One by the T in liberty and one that runs though the 1 in 1929. Dose this coin have much value? Thanks.

b2v New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 04/09/2025 4:11 pm Hey Mike, I wouldn't say it adds no value, but if you go to sell it... you do need to keep your day job. Here is a die crack of the same year that added maybe $50 to $55 dollars if ebay's Terapeaks sales data truely can be trusted, which I am highly suspect of as a side point. However it narrows what value it could add. I have this version I was going to test the waters with at maybe $100 and change. Similar condition to the sale but has the date crack and various points of Machine Doubling. I by no means am an expert or someone who's opinion should be accepted without double checking, but data is data that should be verified in general. Cheers.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6483 Posts	Posted 04/09/2025 4:49 pm A die crack is interesting from a numismatic point of view. Generally, I don't think it adds meaningful value to a coin unless it's a die break or a rim-to-rim crack, which some folks enjoy collecting. On Mercury dimes, the tip of the feathers is a fairly common place for a die to crack. Every coin design has its own particular weak spots on the die surface. Report this Post to the Staff
