Die Error

There are quite a few types of die errors found in coins and you can still find some in modern coins. These errors are often hard to see without using some sort of magnification glass or loupe so they often escape the mint unseen.

Die errors can be caused by a broken die. These broken dies might have small cracks and these cracks will show on the finished coins. The larger the crack in the die the more valuable the coin will be. Some of these die crack error coins have large blank spaces called cuds.

Another popular die error is a double die.
