SFDukie Pillar of the Community United States 980 Posts	Posted 06/16/2005 5:34 pm Is it unsual for a die crack to make a 90 degree "turn" as this one does? I am just about as far from an expert as possible, but that doesn't look "garden variety" to my inexpert eye. Don Report this Post to the Staff
national dealer Pillar of the Community United States 2724 Posts	Posted 06/16/2005 5:50 pm Actually for "nickel" coins this type of die break is pretty usual. Nickel is a very hard metal, and many of the first years in each series showed many new and interesting ways for a die to crack and break. Report this Post to the Staff

Maybe in 40 more years I am working with a collector currently to purchase Shield nickels in true gem conditions. Price is not a concern, but finding these coins without die cracks, Cuds, or blundered dies is quite the task. I have learned quite a bit about these coins as a result. Report this Post to the Staff
