I'm definitely thinking it's a die crack, and a good one at that. Quote:
Looks odd I'm wondering if this was cut I don't think so. I don't see any zinc showing, and it's not the shape I would expect for displaced metal from a cut. |

I want to call this a split die. The raised surface seems to be a lot higher than normal. So I sent Mike an email.

I can feel it when I run my thumb across it. Please don't touch it anymore! You might not see it now, but oils from fingers can stain and attract dust and dirt which stick to the coin lowering value. |

Some would refer to it as a split die, while others would call it a rim-to-rim die crack, due to its relatively narrow width. I'm pretty sure the grading services would opt for the first designation. It's a rare find and undoubtedly worth some money.

Thanks for all the information guys. Really neat stuff.
Any ideas on what kind of money it might be worth? I went to a coin dealer today but the owner wasn't in to look at it.

I'd say it would retail for between $75 and $125.

Our newer members ... such as this OP Jikth ... have no decoder map on who knows what and as such the information provided can be perhaps confusing on who to trust with informed opinions. I am writing to set the record straight on Mike Diamond input ... Jikth ... you should feel privileged to have received Mike's informed opinion ... Mike is without a doubt one of the world's authorities on USA error/variety coins. Whenever Mike speaks we listen .... In that regard congratulations on your tremendous find!

 I am honored that Mike bought two LMC's from me awhile back to add to his collection. I would not have sold them if it wasn't to Mike. When ever I/we have a tuffy to figure out, Mike comes to the rescue. John1 |
