<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 3332037, member: 24633&quot;]Die chips and breaks are really common because the dies must strike tens of thousands of coins under many tons of pressure. Some of the CA, GA and UT State Quarters that I got from the Mint in bags had as many as 5-6 breaks and/or cracks on many of the coins. Of course, if a die was nearing the point of shattering, the coin(s) struck just before the failure could possibly bring substantial premiums.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve (only) seen pictures of coins with as much as half of the details missing from die failure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
