I was hunting an OBW box of 1961-D LMCs' and I found this one. It seems to be the only one in there, but I'm sure it's legit. I did wear gloves when photoing this so don't freak.

Nice find. There is only one listed and it's not yours:

Any plans to submit it for a new listing?

Awesome coin and condition!

I wonder what a coin like this would bring. I've got that 1957 d Washington with a split reverse. I don't want to sell it but often wondered

Yes, I'll probably do it in a week or so.

No idea. I plan to get it slabbed as the discovery piece after getting it listed.

Thanks Tunnioc!
@Willburton, you should. It's a great feeling owning a discovery slab.
@Chris, thanks, it is super neat!

I need to have a closer view. Die cracks don't form in two straight lines across the coin. It is not raised very high on the coin.

Right, I can take new pics when I get home. It is raised but weakens as it travels south. I'm sure it's not a LAM issue, and am pretty sure it's a die crack. It is an odd formation being in such a straight line.

Ive seen lams that were like that. Check to see if the edges of the lines are ragged?

I'll check back tomorrow. The clearest will be the most help. Even if you have to take three over lapping images vertically (I could put them together to see a bit even closer) of the area in question.
