Jeremy123 Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 09/06/2016 12:26 pm I have to say that this has been the second best coin CRH for me. I found this 1942 S Nickel with another 1943 P wartime nickel. Last week it was a 1943 beautiful steel penny and now this week are these nickels. I still think someone ditched their collection at Achieva bank and I'm just picking up their pieces. I attempted to trace the die crack on the reverse from rim to rim. I'm not the greatest with pictures but from what I can tell the more dim it was the better at seeing this die crack. Report this Post to the Staff

Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 09/06/2016 1:07 pm Don't see rim to rim everyday. Yes I loose track on two of the high points, but expected with circulation I'd think. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff

ace_ftw Pillar of the Community Canada 1747 Posts	Posted 09/06/2016 4:55 pm that is called a retained die crack. as the die was obviously in 2 pieces, and probably only hit a few more coins after that one. Report this Post to the Staff
