Looks like a die that's about to break.

Is the whole line raised or is there a valley in the middle of the line with raised sides?

I believe the whole line is raised. What would something like this be worth if it is a die about to break?

Thats a pretty nice Die Crack. From the pictures it appears its a raised line across.
Good Find

I don't think it would be called a "die crack" but a "cracked die" or "broken die". Nice. John1  |

Looks like a rim to rim die crack, a precursor to a split die. If the crack thickens and the design is offset, then the crack has deepened enough to signal die failure. I would value this one at $2 - $4. Alan Herbert has good information on this in his Official Price Guide to Mint Errors.

It is an angled cut that caused vertical displacement of the metal, not a die crack. The line does not go rim-to-rim, you can see an interruption in the lines right next to the rim and then corresponding cuts on the rim @the you of TRUST and the dot next to the date. A die crack would not display an interruption like that but a cut certainly would.

I'd put it at around 10 to 15 dollars.

I agree with Biokemist6. I looks like PMD to me and has no numismatic value. In my above post I was trying to lead to this. I think if the coin was viewed under a scope or high magnification you will see a valley where the metal was pushed up to form the ridge. |
