  You’re short four cents, and short a bunch of diecracks

  Die cracks are raised. Your coin has hits and contact Mark’s that are into the surface of the coin – there is no error on your cent, I’m sorry to say.

  What is the ridiculous obsession with die cracks on modern coins, did I not get the memo that these are now important??
