Greenstang Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hafta agree- Sure looks like a crack to me. Kikenan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Bob Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Just to clarify, so there won't be any confusion, the coin itself is not cracked. The die that struck it was cracked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikenan Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Could it be worth something? I plan on keeping it but don’t know what to do? Thank you very much. How can I verify it? What would make it more valuable? The coin being cracked or the die being cracked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Quote Could it be worth something? There usually isn't too much value to die cracks unless they are pronounced and go from rim to rim. Die cracks are just too common. Quote How can I verify it? Just by looking at it Quote What would make it more valuable? The coin being cracked or the die being cracked If the coin was cracked all the way through, then that would be a cracked planchet which would be more valuable.

Kikenan Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 The coin is what is cracked. I’ll take another picture of the top part but the crack does run to the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) If the coin was cracked, it would be incuse and run right through both sides. Your crack is raised which means the die is cracked. Photo of a cracked Planchet Edited September 11, 2019 by Greenstang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenstang Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Attaching another photo is not necessary. Most but not all die cracks start at the edge and work their way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikenan Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 I understand what you are saying. Besides it’s only a hairline crack. But saint see pay attention of other side. So is it a keeper or has no value? Thank you all for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 You can keep it as an example of a Die Crack but not too much value to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VKurtB Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I have a crack through my back side too. It comes in handy occasionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
