Well I don't know if this qualifies as a shattered die or not, but just sent off images to JC and so will find out soon enough. The coin has five points where the crack contacts the rim with at least two fairly nice Retained Cuds in the mix. But it would appear that the crack does circumnavigate the entire coin as well. It's pretty cracked up one way or the other.

Very cool! Good luck on the listing. Hopefully it'll get listed as a Shattered Die.

Very nice. Excellent images.
(That crack seems to go through the middle of the wreath from the left side of the shield to about k9 on the reverse.)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

While I maybe couldn't have afforded to buy the coin if it were high grade uncirculated, I think such a coin would show that the crack pretty much goes most if not all the way around. I can see bits and pieces of it which should connect and not be isolated. I'll update here when I get the listing attribution from JC.
