Yikes that is a dramatic flan crack. It is a great pick-up even if it isn't moving toward your primary collecting goal. Well done!

cool. pretty impressive that it never broke in half.
as an example of the error I like your example better than Charmys. I think its the jagged nature of the crack that I find appealing.

Now that is an impressive error!  Kinda wondering what an error collector might value something like this? This is similar to my cracked planchet error on a British 1822 farthing I picked up some time ago which I have a thread on that coin here... |

Amazing a crack of that nature. Drop it on solid ground and it surely will break in half!

Thanks to everyone! I'm very pleased with the pickup. Quote:
Now that is an impressive error! Kinda wondering what an error collector might value something like this? I paid $250 for this after negotiating it down. IMO, I got a great deal for such a rare and dramatic piece and I could see this being worth a good amount more to another collector. After selling some pieces today to warrant me purchasing this coin, I even walked out with a profit on top of this coin too. Quote:

Amazing that it circulated like that. Certainly. Incredible it's still in one piece after so much circulation. Quote:

Great pick up CH27. How could you resist? That's the fun part: I couldn't!  There will be more common date FEC's out there but I highly doubt I'll ever come across a FEC planchet crack like this again. Thanks sheldius! -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage

This is really impressive. And you got to keep history in perspective: This was the very first year of (regular issue) small planchets. And boy, did they screw this one up.

Thanks robbudo! A very important year for a very important series, that's for sure! Just a really rare error on a FEC, very grateful to have it. Thanks again!
