Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 3:05 pm Is there a die crack at the bottom of the King's neck? Any ideas of grade? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 4:24 pm I don't believe its a die crack, never seen one there and I've looked at a lot of 1951 50 cent coins. I would rate it is between VF and VF+. Report this Post to the Staff
chwkboy Valued Member Canada 118 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 5:31 pm I can't tell if its a die crack or a scratch, the photo isn't clear enough. It also looks like Narrow Date but hard to tell from the photo. I would agree with pqinrh about the grade. Report this Post to the Staff

chwkboy Valued Member Canada 118 Posts	Posted 01/05/2014 8:16 pm Both photos are too fuzzy. Does the line on the coin stand above the surface of the coin or does it sink into the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
Kafka Valued Member Canada 352 Posts	Posted 01/06/2014 09:32 am chwkboy, it might be on the surface. Hard to tell unless I 'scratch' through it. Probably not a good idea. Here's another '51 with a somewhat similar line. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 02/10/2014 4:24 pm Looks like someone tried to make a vise brockage, but neglected to turn the coin another 90 degrees. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
