Message:: [QUOTE="mach330, post: 976371, member: 25161"]I got an uncirculated set, proof set, and quarters silver proof set in  the mail today. I didn't open the uncirculated set (I got it as an  investment, will open it if it turns out to not be worth anything in a  year or two), but I wasn't too impressed with the other two sets. On the  silver quarters proof set, two of the quarters were in sideways and  they were loose inside the case. I decided I should send it back, but I  wanted to look at the coins first. Anyway, I don't usually collect or look for errors but I noticed on the  silver Hot Springs proof that there is what appears to me to be the "die  crack" error. Left of the picture of the fountain in either two places  or it curls through the left side of the fountain and goes in two  directions. It could be looked past if you were just glancing at the  coin, but if you are looking for it, it is pretty obvious. I have a  camera but I know that there is no way I could get a picture clear  enough to show it. It looks like a small ridge/crack on the coin so I am  assuming it is the so called "die crack". And since it is a proof (and  silver) and supposed to be inspected, I'm guessing maybe this is fairly  rare? Is this something that is worth anything? that I should hold onto, or  get graded (never gotten a coin graded before). Any idea on what it  could be worth (if anything) without seeing it? Thanks![/QUOTE]
