Hello CCF, been a while, I trust all are well in these most odd of times we find ourselves in. Having bought and sold numerous collections over the years, I am starting to find myself hankering for coinage again and man, for some reason, nickels are really calling to me. I will find some very high grade examples to purchase soon enough but in the meantime, can you say die cracks?!?

1866 with what seems to be a very terminal die state. Awesome.

Nice nickel, dsfreeworld. I would say that die was shattered. I have a collection of Shield nickels, and I love the varieties.
