The closer the die is to failing, the bigger and more spectacular the cracks become. They turn into breaks, or maybe even cuds. The really spectacular pieces will get a small premium. </p><p><br /></p><p>More of the value of cracks, especially on early coins, is the clue they provide into the minting process. You can trace how the die aged throughout its use. Or, cracks often provide a definite marker for a variety (which may have a premium based on rarity.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
