<p>[QUOTE="Moen1305, post: 56065, member: 2544"]I have a roll of these coins with various dates that the previous owner described as "Die Cracks". I've come to think of die cracks as lines of raised copper (in a cent anyway) that runs from the rim inward. These "die cracks" look more like the placet cracked due to bad metal mixing, too much die pressure, whatever. Does anyone know of this kind of error and if it is collectable or are they just trash coins. The damage does appear to be there prior to or during the minting process. I'll include a few examples.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
