[QUOTE="900fine, post: 720228, member: 6036"]Not at all ! In fact, a sharply-defined die crack is an indicator of a genuine coin. Transfer dies, made from genuine coins, will pick up the die crack from the host coin, but it will be mushy and poorly defined. Some folks find die cracks interesting. In some series, notably early Federal copper and silver, die states are collectible in and of themselves. Some folks will pay a premium for certain die states. This coin is very baggy.
