Norway 10 Øre 1940 - error? [gelöst]

Is this common? Seems to be a crack in the stamp?

Looks like a die crack 

My thought as well.

Also what I thought myself. But then there should be more I guess?

No die cracks, most often come in singles, but they can split up.

If you're asking about coins with the same defect from the die crack then yes, there will be more. The number will depend on how quickly either the die fails totally or it is discovered and removed from service. Sometimes you can find coins with the same die crack but longer or shorter so you can see the progression of the crack in the die.

 Not sure how common it is. But the obverse of the coin image on the page has a die crack between the F and O,too.

Die cracks are not uncommon for norwegian coins from this era.

It was mainly because of the nazi occupation of norway, they procured the metals to use in their war efforts, and I would hazard a guess that coin dies were make do and mend.

These coins were infact not made during the nazi occupation, but the norwegian mint had since the early 1900's lower standards and many coins theerfore made it into circulation with less average quality.
