[QUOTE="Endeavor, post: 2060179, member: 60292"]I did a search and found a bunch of threads discussing each, but not one with both in the title. So excuse me if both have been compared and discussed at length in other threads... Correct me if I am wrong but doubled dies (DDs) seem more desirable overall among the entirety of the collecting world as compared to die cracks (DCs). I'm having a hard time understanding why DCs get so much less love than DDs. They are both generated by defects in the dies and they are plenty of examples where DCs are more rare than DDs. Yet those DCs that are more rare don't sell for as much as DDs. I understand DDs are errors that were on the die from its inception whereas cracks develop later during the process of minting coins, but that still doesn't explain to me why something more rare is valued for less - in many instances.[/QUOTE]
