[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 7953032, member: 105571"]It depends entirely upon what your collecting goals might be. If you want an absolutely pristine, premium coin with fantastic strike, grade and eye appeal for say, your type set, then a coin with a die crack might not be the one you want. OTOH, if you are a date and mintmark collector of a series, you may not have a choice for a particular date and/or MM since the only coins available might have a die crack. A third choice is if you are a die variety and/or die state collector, in which case you absolutely are desirous of collecting coins with die cracks. And a fourth choice is just if you find die cracks, clashes, and other types of early minting issues part of the coin's charm. I happen to fall into all four categories depending upon which of my collecting categories is being discussed.[/QUOTE]
