Message:: [QUOTE="jimmy-bones, post: 49341, member: 2794"]I was at my local coin dealer today searching for PEACE Dollars, and picked up a common date 1924.  It's a beauty!! But I noticed a line/crack/scratch running through the eagle's neck on the reverse from the "B" to the "N" of "E-Pluribus-Unum"  The line is raised above the coin, not indented like I would expect for a scratch. But I bought it anyway. I got a good deal. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />  All the time thinking it may be a "cracked die" error I've heard about. However, I am unfamiliar with craked dies.  But if I follow the logic of the naming convention, I would assume a "cracked die" would produce what I am seeing. I hope someone can give me their opinion and let me know if I am correct. BTW, are there premiums for cracked dies coins?[/QUOTE]
