Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/16/2014 5:16 pm Yeah, if you like die cracks Shield nickels are the series for you. What is tough is finding one that DOESN'T have die cracks. Report this Post to the Staff

ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 07/20/2014 8:08 pm What is the history that's referred to here? Is it that 1876 was a centennial year issue? Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9793 Posts	Posted 07/21/2014 02:16 am I'm trying to do a set of the 1865 reverse die crack coins from no die crack to the one where the Cud begins to form on America. It's a tough thing to find. These Shield nickels are fantastic mid to late die state coins! Love the little Cud on the second one posted (on the reverse at 9:00). That first nickel sure has a tremendous die crack on it. Wonder how many more coins that die was able to strike before completely self destructing. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R.

CherreePicker Valued Member 440 Posts	Posted 07/21/2014 12:04 pm Finding one's with die cracks is the easy part as most have them. Finding a sharply struck pristine coin with no defects might take a little searching. Report this Post to the Staff
