Message:: [QUOTE="C-B-D, post: 2417192, member: 43130"]Die cracks don't make it a variety, unless it's a special exception where the die cracks form a specific variety, like the 1807 "bearded goddess" bust half or the 1839-O "cobwebs reverse" seated liberty dime. In those rare cases, the later die state of progressing die cracks made it a sort of unique variety. Three cent pieces are very often found with die cracks and clashing. It is very common, and there are no varieties the stem from those cracks. PCGS will not put, " die cracks" on the label. But they will put "clashed dies" if you submit it under the mint error tier. And none of the TPG'S will i.d. a variety for you unless you ask for it and or pay for it. Unless they just happen to catch it by accident, which isn't often.[/QUOTE]
