<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1818223, member: 5233&quot;]There are some cases where die cracks do increase the value...but as a general rule they are considered a flaw.&nbsp; However, there are exceptions to that rule.&nbsp; I know with many Capped Bust coins die cracks sometimes serve as die markers for rare varieties...so in those cases the value would be increased.&nbsp; Another example that comes to mind (and a coin I really want in my collection) is the 1861-O Seated Liberty Half Dollar WB-102.&nbsp; On this coin, there is a distinctive obverse die crack.&nbsp; This is significant because the same obverse die (with that crack) was used to strike the 1861 Confederate Half Dollars.&nbsp; So, that die crack indicates a specific die pairing and raises the value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
