Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 03:43 am Coins and Canada is a good resource. There's also an online resource called vicky cents (not sure if that's the right name) for Victorian pennies. Offline resources would be catalogues like Charlton and Zoell. I found a 1965 Zoell book in my library which lists major and minor die varieties (even though I didn't find this particular crack listed).

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 08:57 am Charlton Catalogue 66th Edition lists a die crack on the obverse as variety Obv.-004 but it runs from the front of the neck to the denticles. No mention of a crack on the back of the neck. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/26/2014 11:12 am Its hard to tell from your pics it looks like a scratch but if its raised then it might be the beginning of a hairline fracture, dies may have been changed shortly after striking this coin. There appears to be a crack at the back of the neck running through the X towards the denticles. Report this Post to the Staff
