Dearborn Moderator United States 95760 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 7:10 pm That is a very big (and very nice) Lamination. Cracked skulls are die cracks - This is a planchet issue. Collecting since 1972.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15422 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 7:51 pm to the CCF That is a nice lamination. Somewhat common on War Nickels but still a nice find and 2x2 worthy. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34407 Posts	Posted 04/16/2023 9:14 pm @rwk, FWI so-called "cracked skull" coins are when the die that struck the coin had intersecting die cracks on the portrait.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 10:37 am Probably the silver price would be worth more than the lamination value. Report this Post to the Staff
