CBavl New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 04/17/2026 3:48 pm An odd one I am curious about - There are obv and rev die cracks and what looks like doubling in "Monticello." Thoughts? Can die cracks cause doubling? Report this Post to the Staff

snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1236 Posts	Posted 04/17/2026 4:08 pm Just looks like Die Deterioration on MONTICELLO to me (and no, die cracks cannot cause doubling) https://www.error-ref.com/?s=die+deterioration Die cracks, while they can be interesting, don't typically add anything to most coins. That said - the die crack on the reverse could be of interest. I'll let others with much more expertise than me comment further on that Report this Post to the Staff
