Puh - leeeease knowledgeable forum members ... please don't tell me PMD re the marks on this coin from my work mate. Surely I have to crack a winner sooner or later?

1951-Pl-Half-Penny-Die-Crack---Surely-Not-PMD?

Anyhoo, I'll keep trying until I get a drooling smiley face.



... but don't hold back on honest assessments in the meantime.

Just my guess--it's some kind of planchet lamination that has lifted up in places.

Thanks DVCollecter for your comment - I have to assume this is a good thing.

... but ... I'm still hanging out for a drooling smiley like this ...

Anyone - someone - please hit me with drooling smiley if this coin is worth hanging on to.

There you are! Happy? If it was mine, I'd keep it, but I estimate value would only be $2 or so.

I would also keep it. I like laminations. As nancy said though its not worth an awful lot.

Thanks Nancy for the smiley face and thanks to the others for their comments. Disappointing that the value is so low though, I thought I was on a winner ...

Not to worry, I like the coin so will hang on to it for a while.
