<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom Maringer, post: 172381, member: 7033&quot;]Interesting thread! I&#039;m always amazed at the numerous auctions on eBay for coins with die-cracks. I am plagued by die-cracks! They occur late in almost every press run (or did until recently) and in my mind they degrade the value and beauty of the coin. How many examples exist is merely a function of how atentive the press operator is being... and sometimes how critical the production quotas are. Some issues (Mexican coins for instance) are known in which the coins continue to be made until the dies literally fall to pieces and become completely unusable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
