It’s just that they are so common in business strikes. The break would have to interrupt a large portion of the design to become desirable/valuable (common thinking). Otherwise, as mentioned earlier, it helps to identify a die as a die marker (imho). For example, Shield Zincolns abound with die cracks on both sides. The true challenge with this series is to find coins that do not have die cracks. As others have said, ask away with your questions.
