Dearborn Moderator United States 95550 Posts	Posted 02/29/2024 6:22 pm sure looks like a die crack on the coat - one area where I have not see there before.. Collecting since 1972.

SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 02/29/2024 7:58 pm Down the rabbit hole I went with this coin. I've spent far to long tinkering with this darn scope. Ugh I really don't like using it. I did get a few other shots but I'll spare you those, just DDD on Liberty and Date with a few die cracks I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10515 Posts	Posted 02/29/2024 8:48 pm I have a 55 pretty much like yours - but no die crack in the shoulder area. Indeed they over-ran the dies in the 50's. Just posting reference pics - not trying to overtake your thread! Edited by Marv65 02/29/2024 8:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SomeGoodCents Valued Member United States 238 Posts	Posted 02/29/2024 9:01 pm Lol I noticed it prior to posted mine. Did a quick word search in CC beforehand, also noticed that shaved thin post. They do sell for a slight premium on ebay. Just listed mine for $15 and it will probably be sold in less then a week. Unlike most sellers I do explain that its just MD and not accredited by professional coin graders. Report this Post to the Staff
