Hi everyone. Bought this a week or so ago with 50 cent piece. Despite my horrible photographic abilities, the 2 coins are very lustrous MS coins. The 50 cent has the really nice example of the die crack through GEORIVS VI D:G: REX ET IND and the quarter has something going on at about the 3:00 position. I have looked at this from every different angle, and in my opinion does not seem to be PMD. Wondering if anyone can tell me what it might be.

Here's the 50 cent:

1942-Kg-VI-Quarter

And here's the quarter:

On the 1942 quarter, it looks definitely like a die break.
On the 50 cent coin, it is hard to tell if it is PMD or a die issue.

I would consult a Hans Zoell book for possible varieties.

Thanks 1945V. The 50 cent is known to have many different die cracks amongst the legends. I know that this is a variety of that die break. It's the quarter that puzzles me. I've never seen anything like that before.

It's a die crack in an unexpected location.The 50 cent die cracks are in typical locations.
