    at least this one has a bit more down to earth price tag.

    Exactly the same die crack, at a nice discount. I think this auction may hurt the other guy's chances.image

    Wow, I didn't even think the other guy's was real...looked like a scratch in the plastic.
    Better photos and a labeled slab sure do help.

    I think that other guy has no chance of ever getting $95,000 out of his stupid quarter on crack!

    How do people value this things? I have a PR69/68 DCAM 1978 Washington Reverse Die Crack. I better get that thing slabbed and on EBay if this coin goes for even a $1,000.00

    For us newbies, what should a proof die crack command above the regular price of a slabbed proof. In case I do want to sell it. Though, it is kinda cool. By the way, which is the best for slabbing errors - PCGS, NGC or ANACS? Any advice appreciated.

    The guy that was trying to sell his for like $95,000 bought the coin knowing it had the die crack in an Ebay auction, the auction closed at $95, I think. I don't know how someone thinks a $95 item is suddenly worth $95,000.image

    No idea what the value is other than what someone is willing to pay for it.
    Ncg is good for that type of coin anacs is better for more different error variety's and probably less expensive. I would guess when selling time comes the ngc holdered coin would probably fetch a little more.
  • Conder101Conder101 Posts: 10,536 ✭
    Well I would say that in most cases a proof coin that is normally worth about $2 with no crack might be worth $3 with a nice bold die crack.
  • GeminiGemini Posts: 3,085 ✭
    Die cracks are worth this much?
    I have lots of old coins with cracks that would put this little die crack to shame.

    Remember, the guy asking $95,000 for his said in his auction "I CHALLENGE anyone to show me another coin like this".

    Maybe the guy with the $95000 coin should buy the $5000 coin and corner the market!

    Remember, after the first guy sells his for $95,000 he will sell the next one of his hoard for $200,000. I guess he wants us to save $105,000. Should I tell the wife I can make a quick $105,000 by buying this coin? It must be true if the seller says so. He's so lucky. He bought 10 coins for a couple of hundred bucks and he'll flip 'em for millions. I'll bet the guy who sold these to our ebay friend is still laughing: "you know, you could sell these on ebay and make a fortune - sell the first one cheap, say $95,000, as a loss leader, then jack up the price."

    Russ, you just don't know a bargain when you see one. I know you will have your sniping laser on both of these!

    Bottom line, WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD BID $95,000 FOR A DIE CRACK STATE QUARTER? (I apologize fpr yelling.)

    My brain is a little cloudy so please help?

    Is this being called an "error" because it is unusual for a PROOF? If it was a business strike, and got any recognition at all, it would considered a variety. Am I correct?

    Additionally, what are the chances that there aren't any others. I guess if quality control grab up all the others before sending them out, it could be somewhat limited, but I am pretty sure that more than a few had to be struck before someone noticed that the die cracked, IF that is in fact what we are seeing.

  • krankykranky Posts: 8,709 ✭✭✭
    I have to agree with Russ - Mr. 95K is putting us on. Now what will be interesting is to see if the cheaper one sells (I don't think it will).

  • RotatedRainbowsRotatedRainbows Posts: 2,085 ✭✭
    I believe it is mislabeled as a die crack IS NOT an error, it is just a different DIE STATE then a coin without a crack regardless of if it is a proof or business strike. An error is when a mint employee makes a MISTAKE, a die crack is just a sign of die failure or an old heavily used die which would make it a later die state but not an error at least in my opinion.
  • mrdqmrdq Posts: 1,186 ✭✭✭
    It's against EBAY Policy to have any charges as a % of final sale. His 3% for paypal will get this auction ended early. I Know, it happened to me last spring.

    Wait a minute, i think i saw something on the coinworld website about Die cracks in the delaware SQ.

    Hmm, just searched, but didn't find anything. I've got three that have a minor die crack, but jeez, not a 95000 crack. Does this ring a bell with anybody else?

    There were some Delawares called "spitting horse" varieties because of a die crack from the horse's mouth. See one here.
