<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ferdyboy, post: 910164, member: 25361&quot;]Hello gang,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was searching a box of halves yesterday and noticed that the box had many, many Gem BU 1995 halves in it---nothing so special other than I thought it very unusual--so I was setting them aside.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I decided to give them a closer inspection and noticed that one of them had a die crack running from Kennedy&#039;s adam&#039;s apple (the very bottom left corner of the bust) to the rim.&nbsp; I put the loupe on it to make sure it wasn&#039;t a scratch, and sure enough it was definitely a die crack. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, I looked at the rest of the group (there were a total of 120 of these in the box), and to my amazement I found a PROGRESSION of the crack, from where it started out very small at the bust and grew progressively worse over a series of 5 coins until it reached the rim.&nbsp; I have never seen a case where a series of coins (a quintuplet in this case) could be verified.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think I&#039;ll post this to the error coin thread and get some opinions about what I should do with these coins---I have never run across this in all of my years of coin collecting![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
