Tiger coin "cracked"?
Speaking of the Tiger Year commemorative coin, a while ago, some netizens posted a picture, and the Tiger Year commemorative coin on it actually had a "crack"? What the hell is going on here?
From the netizens posting pictures, we can see that above the flower lamp on the back of the Tiger Year commemorative coin, there is a raised line, and netizens say that this is a "mold crack".
It is such a cracked tiger coin, on a trading website, even offered a high price of 188 / piece.
In fact, at the time of the issuance of the Year of the Rat commemorative coin, there was also a "mold crack coin", which was "mold cracked" at the mouth of the rat and the RMB secret mark of the thigh. At that time, it was also sold at a price of 30 yuan / piece.

Modulus coins
So, what exactly is a modulus coin?
Mold cracking, in fact, is the mold for making coins, the number of times used, the mold after many impacts, resulting in cracks. Coins produced from this cracked mold will form a raised crack on the coin face.
Coins with cracks
One
The Great Wall coin is cracked
The Great Wall Coin is actually a circulating coin issued by the Chinese Bank between 1980 and 1986. Because the back of the 1 yuan coin is the Great Wall, it is called the Great Wall coin.
There are many mold cracks in the Great Wall coin, and almost every vintage of the general coin can find some.

Two
Orchid 1 corner mold crack
The two orchid horns should come from the same mold, but the corresponding mold stage is different, and the degree of cracking is different. This set of coins can reflect the mold cracking process.
A crack like this, which is almost a whole circle, is still very rare.
Three
Plum blossom 5 corners mold crack
This plum blossom 5 corners, the position of the crack is very clever, just from the upper and horizontal ends of the number 5 to the edge of the silhouette. With use, the part surrounded by cracks has collapsed to some extent.
Four
Chrysanthemum 1 yuan mold crack
Chrysanthemum 1-element fissure is more common, but six or seven consecutive fissures are relatively rare. He is jokingly called "labor model".
Five
The Asian Games commemorative coin is broken
Compared with ordinary circulating coins, commemorative coins are issued in smaller quantities and there are fewer cases of cracking.
Six
The medal is cracked
Some medallions may also have mold cracks, such as the bronze medal commemorative of the 1985 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and the hind legs of the cow have been molded.
Is it worth the investment?
A crack in the mold, to put it bluntly, is a flaw. Because the stock is relatively small, everyone occasionally finds that they have one in their hand when they play and observe, which is also a kind of fun when collecting.
It is also because there are fewer, and the price of some modulus coins is more expensive than normal. But beware! Not all modulus coins can be sold for high prices. Although the tiger coin at the beginning was opened at 188, it is not currently traded.
In addition, we should not take this kind of mold crack coin as the so-called "wrong version of the currency", the central bank has also specially produced a publicity video to resist the "wrong version of the currency" to remind everyone that listening to the words of the central mother does not suffer a loss Oh ~ ~
In short, if you can play with it yourself, but if you want to invest, you must be cautious!
