So this is a coin I had posted previously and was identified as a "Poor Mans DDD", created from die-deterioration and visible in the last 5 of the minted date... and upon closer inspection I just noticed what looks to be a very visible crack leading from his hair line to the back of the head! Don't know if this sort of damage can be linked to over-used dies but it certainly doesn't match any of the other visible PMD marks, cuts, etc.

Thanks guys, happy I didn't let this one slip through the cracks so to speak... as I am still very new to all this I was hoping someone can help with a definitive definition for what I have here and maybe any potential value it may hold? I had previously posted this coin showing the "Poor Mans DDD" but didn't include those photos this time around... any help is much appreciated!!

Does anyone want to take a stab at putting a value to this coin? It's a 1955-P "Poor Mans DDD, with "Cracked Skull" die crack and potential lamination error...
