    Wrong. Whether there is a crack in a die or a scratch in a die, the metal of the planchet will fill in the recession in the die, creating a raised portion of metal on the coin.

    Go organize your collection. Carefully review the ANA grading standards and grade every single coin. Record the results in cuneiform.

    Lol! They don't really say OMG, but they use a lot of teenage slang. I keep trying to insist that they practice being articulate. Sometimes it works, sometimes not so much.

    Try googling '40s slang and try to say something to them using those "words". That'll scar 'em (at the moment I'm feeling to tired to finish this post, so I'll edit it in the morning).

    I thought an articulate was one of those green things with lots of leaves.

    What is the difference? It is a very worn 1895o, and while a good date, die cracks or the scratch won't change the value.

    I think that Greg was left speechless after he read the post above him saying that scratches don't change the value of a coin.

    I think the subject was a die crack vs. a coin scratch, not a die scratch.
