Ok I REALLY need your help with this one! I have a 1943 S nickle that looks like it has several errors. (If not I'm running away forever! Lol)  On the reverse there is a die crack? From top of coin to bottom! It's pretty impressive if I do say so myself!  There also appears to be a smaller on starting just above the M close to big crack.(or is it just PMD?)  Right above Monticello on left side appears to be another? Die crack as well as some blob looking thing AND (no idea what it's called see pic below lol) the top part of whatever that is has been blown off? No idea  On the obverse I'm not sure if that's another crack or just PMD....  I'm sure I forgot something but that's plenty. Do I have something? Is it worth anything? You know you wanna buy it! Thank you all for your assistance with this War nickle!! |

Heavily worn, but still a War Nickel and worth saving though. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I too with the above, which is a scratch on the reverse indeed. Has 35% silver and definitely a keeper for primarily the silver content as melt is more than a dollar at least. You are taking some rather nice pictures, and let's us see better what you are thinking about  |

It is a well circulated and worn coin showing it's journey after 81 years.

A die crack will result in a raised metal line on the coin. A scratch will result in a cut into the surface of the coin metal, often shoving up metal on both sides of the scratch.

Just a well circulated War Nickel with a scratch. Still a keeper though. Errers and Varietys.
