gotom New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 08/02/2011 1:48 pm I get that for nickels "full steps" seems to be a big deal. Instead I am trying to put together a set of War Nickels with die cracks. I am not sure how common they are but I already have a couple. I was wondering whether they would command a premium? If so how much? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

They might be less common on War Nickels because I think the silver alloy is softer than cupronickel. Report this Post to the Staff

I guess it was all about timing...nobody wanted this coin at that particular time. Edited by oih82w8 08/02/2011 3:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
