Jeff75645 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 05/03/2020 11:19 pm I was looking at this before listing it for sale and found a couple of cracks. Is this a cracked Planchet? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by Jeff75645 05/04/2020 12:01 am Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19134 Posts	Posted 05/04/2020 08:24 am I think I see a trace of die crack(s)--proximity of 44 and LAR of DOLLAR.. Perhaps a higher-res photo or two with slightly different lighting angles would help. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeff75645 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 05/04/2020 2:30 pm I'm gonna get some better pics tonight. But the crack on the reverse runs through the LL in Dollar and runs all the way to the edge of the coin and also splits at the top of the R and runs up Report this Post to the Staff

Jeff75645 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 05/04/2020 6:23 pm Thanks. Does it add to the value of the coin? I'm gonna keep it now but was just curious. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/04/2020 6:52 pm I wouldn't think much, but others may disagree. This is a cracked die, not cracked planchet, which would be a different story. Edited by Coinfrog 05/04/2020 6:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Classic Coins Pillar of the Community United States 940 Posts	Posted 05/04/2020 7:00 pm The cracked die makes the coin more interesting, in my opinion. It doesn't raise the book value, but it could increase the sale price if a buyer is willing to pay more for the die cracks. Report this Post to the Staff
