This is a 1867 and has several nice and distinct die cracks along the obverse. I apologize I do not have a full size image of the coin. My phone camera is busted and my scope doesn't have the ability to reduce its magnification enough to get the whole thing. I will work on fixing this issue in the near future. I was curious is there is any additional premium for this coin and if there is any know classification for this type of thing. I know typically die cracks do not but I did want to ask since it seems to have so many. Thank you as always for any help given! I always enjoy learning from the rest of ya'll!

Nickel was still a rather new metal for the Mint and it was giving them grief because of its hardness. So the planchets were doing a number on the dies. And I like die cracks. Gives a coin personality. Report this Post to the Staff
