<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 414426, member: 2972&quot;]Marking down a bust half for a die crack seems to me even over the top for ANA standards -- and just what I&#039;d expect from &#039;ya.&nbsp; Go get &#039;em GDJMSP!&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In all seriousness, I could understand that perspective for coins that aren&#039;t frequently found in this condition, but it seems rather arbitrary to not give anything higher than a 64 for a coin with a die crack.&nbsp; Perhaps for a series where this phenomenon wasn&#039;t as frequent, but not bust halves -- not knowing the series well, I&#039;d guess you&#039;ve probably limited half of the extant population by making such a statement.</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, die cracks should be factored into the final grade (and value) of a coin, but I don&#039;t believe in such an arbitrary and grade-limiting way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just thinking out loud and respectfully submitted....Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
