1. Is this a die crack?
2. Is this worth anything more than 5c ?

I really like that one--nice find! That die has completely split in half and already shifted some.

That is a very nice crack. I would suppose it would be worth something, I'd pay more than 5 cents for it. I know that whenever the field starts to shift, the price goes up. This die was on it's last leg.

That one is really nice. I have searched $100-$200 of nickels each week for over 5 years now and have never found a die crack that nice. Good find!

You've got a beautiful rim-to-rim die crack. Some might even call it a split die. There's an uncertain and subjective threshhold that separates the two. The die crack changes from a conventional die crack at the ends (where lateral spread has taken place) to a bi-level die crack in the center (where vertical displacement has taken place). I'd value it at $25 in its present condition. Nice find.
