legacyofcoins New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 03:31 am Looking for some opinions and thoughts on this. I found this coin some time ago during some coin roll hunting before I had a scope or really knew about errors/varieties etc. Going through my collection I took a closer look with my scope and phone tonight to find what I think appears to be a die crack through the reverse from top to bottom all the way through Monticello. My concerns are, am I correct its a die crack? Furthermore, I don't know why but I am questioning the legitimacy of the coin. Something seems off to me but I could be paranoid. Please let me know what you think if you'd be so kind. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15422 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 07:56 am to the CCF That is a legitimate die crack, appears to go rim to rim as noted above. Nice find. Your post needs to be moved to the US Modern Variety/Error forum (the 1940 Jefferson nickel is not a US Classic coin). I'll ask the mod dudes to help out.

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2954 Posts	Posted 08/08/2022 08:22 am Indeed a very legitimate rim-to-rim die crack; I actually have a similar 40-S like yours with a crack like that, also in high grade. Report this Post to the Staff

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5772 Posts	Posted 08/09/2022 07:51 am Nice find. Congratulations. BTW- To add a little more to the descriptions provided by others, this is a bisecting Rim to Rim die crack. Harder to find and therefore more special. (A "precud" is also a rim to rim die crack but is a little easier to find.) Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
