I like to auction it off on CCF. 2. Is this rare for large die cracks? I have never seen one before. Edited by solotime 07/11/2014 12:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 07:20 am I don't think it would be worth much.As a general rule I only keep die cracks if they cover at least half of the coin or is in an odd location or an odd shape.Your coin doesn't quite reach 50% of the coin.May run a contest and have this coin as the prize.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 07:42 am On the plus side, nice die crack (don't need a loupe to see it). On the minus side, the scratch on the obverse (and what that on the shoulder). Also common coin. IMO it'll cost more to ship it than it's worth. Report this Post to the Staff
solotime Pillar of the Community United States 2311 Posts	Posted 07/11/2014 07:50 am @Kanga, Shipping really isn't much if you use the right service For example, this Lincoln Cent can be shipped by letter for 49 cents. But yeah the scratch does ruin the front. @John, You mean that die cracks can split nearly a whole coin? I'm guessing those have to be rare since I never saw one before then.
