<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1858612, member: 24633"]If you come across any coin(s) that appear to have a very slight depression along any device, set it aside and look for a full-blown die break in that same location. Often, die breaks begin as a sub-surface crack which raises the surface of the die slightly, thereby creating a depression on the coin. If you happen to find one with a full break, then you will have a nice progression. It's not worth a whole lot of money (except to a hardcore error collector) but it is cool to be able to show how it all began.</p><p><br /></p><p>The same may be true for die cracks. You might get lucky and find a progression showing the growth and expansion of a crack.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was used to searching $250 Mint bags of SQ's, so I can't guarantee that you will find anything in a sampling of just 100 coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

I was used to searching $250 Mint bags of SQ's, so I can't guarantee that you will find anything in a sampling of just 100 coins. Good luck! Chris[/QUOTE]
