Roosevelt Dime With A Skin Condition

Some people will buy those. I think it's common to see those chips.

It's possible. In fact, I have a set of three coins sitting on my desk that exhibit progressing stages of the same die break.

It is also possible, for example, for die cracks to develop on different dies but in a similar location.

Sometimes, there is an inherent weakness in a design that can cause die cracks to develop along a line of weakness.

Take Kennedy half dollars or States Quarters, for example.

Both designs coincidentally have an inherent design flaw that causes die cracks to develop along the bottom of the bust on each design.

So, a die crack or chip above or around that area of the dime can be seen on coins struck from many different dies or you might be able to, on a rare day, find two dimes struck from the same die that also has that crack.



Thanks,

So Does that mean if WE crack up completely, we can retire early too:-)

Yep, why do you think my posts are wacky sometimes.
