<p>[QUOTE="IBetASilverDollar, post: 3076890, member: 85251"]I personally prefer them to not downgrade due to a die crack. I buy from pictures often and would prefer one less variable when looking at a coin. I can decide for myself if the die crack is a factor in my wanting of the coin at the listed grade (often it's a bonus for me with very old series especially). I don't need one more opinion about the coin there's enough subjectivity in grading as is the last thing I need is to sit there and think "that's a medium sized die crack I wonder if they deducted 2 points for it" or "that tiny die crack is barely noticeable I wonder if they netted this at all or let it pass". </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion.
