<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 801523, member: 3726&quot;]Difference only in wording - the die crack is a diagnostic for the date that shows it is genuine. The coin being genuine is what drives the premium.&nbsp; And probably a genuine coin without the die crack might have the higher premium - see the difference? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> THis is also true on some bust halves - the early die states without the cracks drive the true premium. Plus an early die state was probably minted while it LA was still part of the US.&nbsp; So I believe more were minted by the Confederatcy or Louisiana than while still under control of the US.&nbsp; It is just a matter of opinion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>PS - Just stating my humble opinion and not arguing at all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
