[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 2089178, member: 73489"]For a very old coin like Cape Bust Quarters, I can certainly see your point. On Saints and newer coins, die cracks indicate genuine coins. But by-and-large, you don't want a coin with the visual look of die cracks, at least among newer, more modern coins. As my other post said, striking and coinage technology was so raw in the 1830's compared to even the late-1800's/early-1900's that any coins, with or without imperfections, are very desirable. And as you indicated, some imperfections can be desirable for authentic or aesthetic reasons.[/QUOTE]
