Yes the dies are gone, and the reason they are gone is because mint employees used to make restrikes and sold them for their own benefit. (See US...
Good grief what do you expect? These are meant to be spent, thrown on the ground or in parking lots and run over by cars. Then left to corrode...
Die cracks just indicate that the coin the mold was made from had die cracks on it. They do nothing towards indicating authenticity. If the flan...
