regularguy Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 06/29/2010 7:34 pm If the line going through the mint mark is raised, I would say that is from a cracked die do to fatigue or over use of that die. Report this Post to the Staff
nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15437 Posts	Posted 06/29/2010 7:56 pm Agreed with regularguy ...... if the line is raised above the surface of the coin then this is a die crack. These are quite common in the War Nickel series of coins ..... I suppose it is a fine example of our nation using all they had to the very end of useful life. Anyways ..... I have a complete War Nickel series at MS66+ ..... and 9 of 11 of those coins has a die crack somewhere. BTW .... nice coin .... was this a roll find?

copper nickel daddy Pillar of the Community United States 2224 Posts	Posted 06/29/2010 9:21 pm I've seen this die crack before; it actually had a nickname attached to it; the "Flagpole" die crack. Nice example of one of these! Report this Post to the Staff
ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 06/30/2010 02:27 am I have seen it before as well, using the name Dollar Sign due to it's similarity to the $ symbol. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/30/2010 05:39 am I agree with ACE Mike. Most die cracks are not worth a premium but this one would be,how much you ask ...don't know. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
