Found this one a little while ago in a bulk world coin hunt and obviously bought it due to the error. The reverse is weakly struck from the obverse die issue.

Very nice @mrw. Not much life left in the die that struck this coin.

My observation is that coins issued in WWII had more die cracks and other problems, probably because of shortages and the need to conserve resources.

I like it -- a LOT.
Die cracks always grab my attention.
Describe it as if there were no picture.

I too like die cracks--the more dramatic, the better. Very cool.
