CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 11/20/2015 6:21 pm There are a few collectors of Die Cracks, myself included. If a coin generates interest, it is desirable. Yours is similar to the Speared Bison, but it is different. The Speared Bison has a "spear" that goes in the bison from the top and exits at the bottom, pretty much in a straight line. That's pretty interesting, and has value. If I found one like yours, I would keep it. As Die Cracks go, it's not the best, but a lot better than most. Report this Post to the Staff
