I was going through about 1.6 KG's of silver coins I'm selling on ebay & I found this Florin with a fairly heavy Die Crack so I thought i'd best keep this one.    |

You don't often see die cracks on '54 Royal Visit florins. Definitely a keeper.
You don't often see radial die cracks like this one on any coin.

Yeah I thought it was pretty unusual for a die crack to extend out into the open field of a coin. Thanks sel for puting a name to it.  |

Well if the rest of you are putting your crack in then I'll put my ONE crack in.  Just think, if we each put enough CRACK in, then we can have three best case scenarios: 1) A crack (cocaine) lab 2) A brothel 3) A strip joint We can get lots of notes to noodle with the incomes of either of those.  |

trout: I have NEVER seen the mm in that position before.
May be a scarce die variety. Nice find!
