Double J Valued Member Canada 405 Posts	Posted 11/17/2023 1:25 pm Yes I didn't take it out of the 2x2...sue me. I didn't notice the die cracks by eye but seem to see so many when started taking pictures. I know it's not rare for 44 but curious how it compares to the average? Report this Post to the Staff

Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1587 Posts	Posted 11/18/2023 9:57 pm Checked my 1944s & 1945s, no die cracks but a lot of corrosion and scratches. They didn't seem to stand up to much circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 794 Posts	Posted 11/22/2023 12:51 am The chrome plated "nickels" really took a beating in coin machines, especially parking meters. They used the old crank type you see on gumball machines which can scrape both sides. Report this Post to the Staff
