NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 05/13/2008 12:45 am That is a very nice crack. I would suppose it would be worth something, I'd pay more than 5 cents for it. I know that whenever the field starts to shift, the price goes up. This die was on it's last leg. Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 05/13/2008 06:40 am That one is really nice. I have searched $100-$200 of nickels each week for over 5 years now and have never found a die crack that nice. Good find! Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 05/13/2008 10:33 am You've got a beautiful rim-to-rim die crack. Some might even call it a split die. There's an uncertain and subjective threshhold that separates the two. The die crack changes from a conventional die crack at the ends (where lateral spread has taken place) to a bi-level die crack in the center (where vertical displacement has taken place). I'd value it at $25 in its present condition. Nice find. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
