numismatic nut Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 So I bought a role of 1958 wheats from a fellow coin people person. I went through it and found a die crack. When I finished, I found a total of 10 die cracks. All the same spot, same date and mm; same everything. So, what is the chance of that? Need-less to say, I think they are lucky. I'll post pics later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Here it is (1 of 10) I had to thak the large pic off. It took up too much room. Any ideas on its value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Do not open them! They are huge. Just look at the thum nail. If I could get a mod to help me shrink them it would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostDutchman Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 those particular die cracks for years have been called "cracked skull" they are very common and don't usually command very much of a premium. maybe $.50 or so each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 those particular die cracks for years have been called "cracked skull" they are very common and don't usually command very much of a premium. maybe $.50 or so each 50 cents each in a high high high MS grade. I wouldn't pay more than a penny for that sucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkykile Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi Numismatic Nut! Well, no matter what everyone else says, I LIKE THEM! Considering how business uncirculated coins are made and rolled it amazes me that one can find even two alike in a roll of coins. Keep having fun!

thedeadpoint Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've said this many times before, corky, I've never found more than one or two interesting varieties in change in my LIFE! I've been collecting a wee bit longer than you, too! So I'd probably keep all of them if I found some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numismatic nut Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I don't know how they are roled. I bought them from another fourm member, who hasn't seen this thread yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just carl Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Unfortunately or maybe fortunately error coin collecting is becoming a hot item lately. I think the main reason is many rare coins are just not available so many have turned to error collecting. For example with this latest coin craze there are probably many millions of new collectors. Include millions of one prior to this latest boom and you have millions and millions of coin collectors. Not the mintages on many coins. Many are only a few million and some even less. So an alternative is error coins. At coin shows lately I can not find an error coin of any kind for less than $5. Many are so minor you would normally throw them back into circulation but now are selling. Your die crack coins would be probably in the $5 to $10 each range at many coin shows. It sounds dumb, but go to some coin shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
