Is this a die break at star 2 (from the left side)? Do not know much about these breaks... Thank you! Edited by DarkSun 06/18/2008 6:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Nice find - not sure of the rarity of die cracks on this mintage so I couldn't tell you how valuable it is, but it's neat that it runs from rim to rim. Makes you wonder how close that piece was to breaking off! Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/19/2008 2:44 pm It is a die crack as has been mentioned, and it is a N-1, but it is interesting because even in a late die state the inner circle on the obverse should be clearly visible. It seems to be completely or almost completely gone on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
