Specimens with more prominent die cracks can command a high premium and are valued greatly by some collectors.[4] However, less obvious errors are quite common, especially in the 50 States Commemorative Quarter Program, yielding a lower value.[5]Die crack:&nbsp; Below sourced from Susan Headly &quot;What is a Die Crack&quot; Coins and Collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
