This is a 1897 Morgan in Redfield holder graded MS 64 by NGC. There is a crack in the reverse of the holder, shown in the 4th picture. Any thoughts? Opinions? Possibly a valuation? Does the crack affect the value?    The crack:    (by the way, for those of you who were interested, the images were taken with a Canon 5D Mark II with a 24-70mm lens) Thank you in advance for your responses. |

I like the toning on the coin, and the crack would not slow me down from buying the coin.

There are a lot of these for sale on the net and a whole bunch of those have cracks in the cases. So no I don't think it would affect value. Besides that, the toning on coin more than makes up for crack in case. |

That's a $300-$500 coin all day and maybe more if two toner collectors get a yen for it...

I'd crack it out and send it to PCGS or NGC I think it would get a boost cause of the gorgeous toning. That is just my opinion. Coin would probably grade a 65

 a very nice coin with a very nice provenance. Crack will not affect value. |

I agree ... Do not crack this coin from that holder.
I know Redfield coins have gone up in the past couple years.
I think this one is a very nice example.
I kick myself for not picking up one of these years ago.

I wouldn't mind that one in my collection. The toning is magnificent.
