I believe this to be the most prominent die crack I have seen on any of my Washingtons.

It really does not bother me nor does it enamor me.

But what say the gallery? Will this die crack bring a premium in the marketplace? Or just the opposite, will it damage the value. Or have no effect?

There is a market for everything. If I was collecting quarters then I would not want a die crack but if I collected die cracks this is a nice one sooo

IMO it causes interest but doesn't affect price.

I wondered if it led to a Die Cud in that area later on, but no listing for that.... yet.

The base of the bust along with the leading edges of the eagle wings are points of inherent weakness on the Washington quarter(especially the pre-1965 design), you will repeatedly see die cracks in those areas across a large section of years and mint marks.

Sorry I have neglected this topic.
I now have it listed for sale (on the Bay) with no premium attached. A bit below trends (as always) and if it gets gobbled up I will know it did attract interest.
Thank you guys for your replies!
