moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 06/28/2020 3:23 pm I have several of these 5 Sen coins and found a progression in the die crack on 3 of them. Interesting how it progressed. At the 10 o'clock position. Hard to be-leave this little coin is 146 years old, excellent condition. Report this Post to the Staff

moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 732 Posts	Posted 06/29/2020 7:07 pm Looking at the crack in the die it would appear that it is the same die for all three Report this Post to the Staff
Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 06/29/2020 10:02 pm What I should have asked is are the obverse and reverse die the same on all three, or is just the one with the die crack the same on all three. Report this Post to the Staff
