[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3077666, member: 90692"]I still don't know what it's worth, but after a little research, I am willing to speculate. Thanks to Beefer1020 we get an idea that a single die crack coin may sell for 99 cents on ebay. I presume you have looked at other listings there as well. But my other efforts drew a blank, and I offer these insights: we see ddo and ddr listings on TPG databases, but no listings for die cracks, or for polished die lines or for strike errors. This, in itself, is telling us they don't think it important. So, it is a specialized niche of coin collecting, one that many numismatists, and many of our forum members for that matter, do not ascribe. I would have thought more forum members would have offered at least ball park values for your request but apparently they agree with the TPGs. By logic alone, and I don't say it is the best, if a single crack is listed for sale at .99, then you could fairly offer your coin for $2.97, don't you think? Is it worth it to do it that way? Beefer1020 also was right about supply and demand. You would have to entice the right person who has the demand to purchase your supply. As an error, I have seen other denominations sell for much more...Spark[/QUOTE]
