Guest irish79 Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Hello, I am new to the forum, and hobby. I just posted another topic about my collecting interests and looking for some advice but here I want to specifically ask about a coin that I have had for many years which might be considered a die crack. Back in 1994 when I was in school I picked up 2 50p D-Day anniversary coins (b/c of my interest in WW2). I have had these ever since, however, one of them has a line across the left side and I have to say as a kid I was not too happy that my nice new coin was not perfect.With that said, does anyone know exactly what would have caused this, my theory is a die crack, and is this worth anything more than 50p.David Quote

But those are big "ifs". Unique misstrikes or die cracks are very unsought after in this country (apart perhaps from brockages). Quote
Danz Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Hi. I love coins with errors. Die cracks,blobs,double strikes etc i don't care if it isn't how it should be then i like some others will collect it. I would pay more fore an example with an error so yes to your question it is worth more than 50p. Quote
