<p>[QUOTE="Steve E, post: 55174, member: 2147"]That's for sure. I used to grab every coin with a die crack I could lay my hands on. I thought they were so cool and everyone had them for sale. I kept wondering why dealers were selling them so cheap! Then I started checking every coin I received in change and WOW, they were there too, along with many errors!! I told a dealer friend (who is a avid error specialist and has written several articles about errors) who told me they were so cheap because they were so common on every denomination, and except for a few exceptions, most collectors pay no attention to them. Even though I don't collect them anymore I still like to see them and I still have many in my collection. Errorcoins has some great examples and I hope they turn out to be key errors in the series so please don't stop the photos if you find more.</p><p><br /></p><p>A good example. When I recvd my 2005 mint set, guess what? The Denver Lincoln had 2 die cracks, 1 protruding from his hair behind the neck and another close to Liberty. Sent them back. I wanted pristine fields on this set and I thought the cracks looked bad. Different collectors, different interests. Forums like this would be pretty boring if everyone collected the same thing and had the same opinions all the time. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
