Would y'all please tell me if this a die break and if it's of any value? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 02:08 am I agree just some nasty scratches. The missing A on reverse is more interesting. Still just worth what a 1911 is worth in that condition. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 04:38 am Not a die break. What looks like a "die crack" is a scratch,a die crack would be raised and a die scratch from circulation would be indent with a ridge along its' sides. The missing A looks like a Grease Filled Die.

PamV Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 10:17 am These pics do not do it any justice. I wish it showed the detail it see with the loop. It looks to be the point of whatever caused it to do this is behind his neck about the base of the skull. Most of it isn't raised up, but not the same as you described. Above liberty and down Lincolns back is. The rest that's in his face and up through God and we look like a spider crack. With it being such an early year. I didnt know what to make of it. It would be interesting to know the story behind this "spider gauge". Your knowledge is well appreciated. Thank you all, PAM Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 11:34 am It does appear to be just damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/11/2019 6:27 pm Actually with that damage it is actually a cull coin. Just one mark on your coin would have turned it into a cull coin. So one to replace when you get a better one for your collection. Report this Post to the Staff
