change4thebetter Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 6:31 pm Hi harrison2 I appreciate your comment and insight into this one...it is on the "ugly" side for sure but due to the large die crack I thought I'd post it anyway...just for the sake of the error some people might be interested in. Thanks again...take care Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 6:50 pm It looks like the "crack" runs the entire face of the coin.If so then it isn't a "crack" but a "die break" if I remember right.The pros will correct me I'm sure. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
change4thebetter Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:27 pm Thank you too John1 for helping me out with this and passing along your thoughts. I previously had posted as the header "retained broken die?" and a respected person in this community commented that this was one of the ugliest coins he's seen due to corrosion and such...not soon after I changed the heading to "Ugliest"...and he proceeded to remove his post...so I don't expect that you'll get any kind of rebuttal about the crack. Thanks again for your views always appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
