dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 6:14 pm I think this coin has lots of character. I'm not familiar with Shield nickel die pairings but this must be a late stage something. Thanks for L@@King Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 6:26 pm Woah this must have been close to when the die just simply shattered away, I enjoy die cracked coins alot myself, and perhaps this could get a small bonus in value... Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 12/05/2021 7:47 pm I think Shield nickels are often found with die cracks. Great type coin you have with rays. (Might be one reason rays were removed from reverse in series) My Binary Radar Post 10101 Edited by TNG 12/05/2021 7:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/06/2021 11:17 am It looks like there are at least two more, at 7:00 and 8:30. The one at 10:00 also appears to branch to the outer leaf of second leaf cluster. The crack from the rim through OD to the top of the cross continues across the top, down across the right arm, through the curl and then through the first two leaf clusters on the right. It may also join up with the crack through T and the one at 2:45. Report this Post to the Staff
