mountainman 2 Valued Member United States 351 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 12:43 pm I found this while going through 40$ in nickels last night. The crack runs nearly the entire length of the coin. I couldn't find another example of the 2000-P for comparison. Would this be considered a die crack or a die break? Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 12:50 pm If the die "crack" goes from rim to rim,unbroken then I would call it a die break. If it does not,then I call it a die crack,IMHO. Either way it is a keeper. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75825 Posts	Posted 04/14/2018 5:55 pm Does the Die Cracks connect to each other? If they do, then it's a Rim To Rim Die Crack. Either way, it's a very nice find! Getting it for face value is even better! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Either way, it's a very nice find! Getting it for face value is even better! With the possible exception of the area above the 1st L in Monticello, the crack runs completely across the coin. That one area I'm not sure is a crack or part of the coin's design. Thanks for the replies. Lots of knowledgeable people here. Report this Post to the Staff
