<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1121441, member: 6036&quot;]Some books discuss die cracks, others don&#039;t. That&#039;s because die cracks are NOT die varieties, and they are NOT errors.</p><p><br /></p><p>So why would any die variety book bother mentioning die cracks ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Because sometimes the difference between varieties is very small, such as the spacing of letters or numerals, and the presence of a die crack is a more positive ID than the engraver&#039;s &quot;signature&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, die states are often collectible in their own right, so a variety book will often present all known die states of a given die variety.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
