Howdy all,
In my roll searches of pennies I have come across many early and mid 1980's with die cracks and breaks. With most being on the rev on either side of the memorial. Although I have a few with them going half way across the bld and a few coming from the 12 o'clock position going down.are these worth much or worth saving?

Technically, no.

It is all considered part of the life and death of a die.

However, if the cracks or breaks are extraordinary, there are some people that collect them and might be willing to buy them.

I only keep die cracks when they go at least half way across the coin.

None of them carry any premium value unless they stretch all the way across the coin and show separation between them. This is called a broken die and is worth something. Just as die cracks they are common and have no value.
