Sir I totally agree with you, but as you well know as I do, society doesn't necessarily work that way. In the beginning when you started collecting In your experience has anyone ever offered you a Coin to buy? Remember you have just started collecting now. Do not think the way you think now think back when you first started. As in my case every time I went to the neighborhood coin shop the owner always had a new coin to show me. And I have found when I was in that stage of my life and win I increase my knowledge that retail price can be negotiated down with a little knowledge, remember there's a lot of blue collar coin collectors.
Two hardcore numismatics collectors you're right, but there are a lot more blue collar collectors out there and consider myself one, sometimes I like a good die crack in a coin. In most of the time i use them as a training aid for new coin collectors. And most young collector starting out do not want to see a picture they want to see a real die crack. So your statement david is not entirely correct.
What was said Paddy did not say your coin was of no value, he was saying the die cracks were nothing of value. Paddy is quite aware of a coins value, as well as most here.
I admit to not being very knowlegable on coin errors, but it is my understanding that most of the photos show die CHIPS. In any case I agree that they likely would make the coin of less value.
I think so, and I'm sure that little kid with his or hers box coins would appreciate it. Kinda see where I'm coming from.
Thank you for your reply, nowadays we have the opportunity to go on the web and look up practically anything, and you will find a wide variety of opinions to your question that you're asking about, but unfortunately in those opinions is going to be answers that will vary. Against thank you for your reply.
P. s. Please look at the coin 2015 snow on the roof and look a die could photo and use your own judgment which coined looks better
hit the wrong button, I'm sure many members are going to disagree with me, but I appeal has a lot to do with a coins value, such as the coin I've mentioned, the defect in the coin is plainly visible without magnification, (and that's a fact jack)
OK so you're not a big die crack fan, and I know the photos and not the best, but instead of people asking me what to look for I believe the orange marks are an indicator du.
While no doubt about what you said is right it is a 1921 D. Morgan, I just thought it would be nice for young and new collectors to have a look at another die crack to look at, I don't know about you but I'll never stop looking they remind me of lightning strikes, so why are you ragging on the coin.
yes, I remember it. and I also would say stuff like: Hey, man, what is this here? Or: Is this cleaned. Or what ever was on my mind.
And I remember saying to the coin dealer when I bought my 78 cc Morgan has this coin been cleaned. Because it didn't look like the other morgan's.
Just to jump back in, little research on the coin indicates that it's a vam 16 according to the arched die crack from the F to the rim.
