<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 104925, member: 112&quot;]It all depends on who wants to buy the coin. To some collectors die cracks are not a good thing. They consider them as damage almost and think they detract from the value of the coin. And they would never buy a coin with a die crack.</p><p><br /></p><p>To others, die cracks are a good thing and they find them appealing. They think they add to the uniqueness of the coin and make it special in some way. To some, the more die cracks the better and they will often pay a substantial premium for these coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>The variety for many coins is often determined by die cracks in certain locations. Some coins are even authenticated because they have a certain die crack. So most collectors think of the coins with die cracks as a variety. But yes, a die crack in and of itself is an error. They exist because the die failed and they are not found on the coins struck with this die before it failed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
