    I was going through some coins today and I have 2 '22 peace dollars, I've never noticed it before but when I glanced at one I saw what I thought at first to be a scratch but then I noticed the exact same thing on the other one and when I took a closer look at them it looks to be a die crack. Since these are the only 2 I have and they both have it, I'm wondering if this is something that is fairly common? Thanks for looking and any input.

    Die cracks are fairly common on Morgan and Peace dollars, and unless there is substantial metal displacement, there is usually not much of a premium associated with them.

    Were these both acquired from the same roll?

    I forgot to add that the cracks aren't identical. There are slight variations between them to substantiate that they came from different dies. Like I said, die cracks are common on these coins. The dies were striking the planchets with 120-130 tons of pressure.

    That is a common area for die cracking on peace dollars especially 1922's. There are some die cracks and cuds that do have value on some of the peace dollars... but they are pretty major and easy to see... these are minor in comparison.

    Thanks for the quick responses guys! And thank you Chris for pointing out that the two are different, I was in a hurry when I took the picks and posted them, I didn't even notice the difference. I was kinda guessing that they were pretty common, but wanted some input from people who know, you guys. Thanks again.

    Are those 22's or 22-D's? Die cracks are very prevalent on 22-Ds.

    nrk77 here is a link to VAMWorld http://www.vamworld.com/Top+50+Peace+Dollar+VAMs

    Here you can find out info on your coin. There are other details that you should look at in your coin that might make your coin very valuable. I recently cherry picked a 12A Moustache Vam for $36. Check it out who knows you might find yours to be one of the special ones. Hope this helps.

    They are 22's not D's. Thank you for the VAM link, I went back and checked them over good, but nothing other than what I showed in the pictures above. Thanks again guys for the replies and input, I'm pretty new to this so any help I get along the way is greatly appreciated.

    I've got two 22-P's with similar die cracks in the neck area, so maybe those are fairly common.

    no most die cracks have the amount of coins produced with that same die. so the common one are small ones and the rare ones are the ones made a the end of the minting process when the crack is big and dominant.

    Here's one of them, with the die crack stretching from the left side of the neck to past the first T in TRUST
