snailking1 Pillar of the Community United States 1248 Posts	Posted 04/06/2025 4:50 pm Hello I realize that beauty (and value!) are in the eyes of the beholder, but, does a cracked skull like this have any real value. Or is it just something cool to keep if you happen to find it. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10497 Posts	Posted 04/06/2025 5:13 pm Nice one - also looks like a RIDB (Retained Interior Die Break)? Not sure about value but I'd definitely keep it! Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7010 Posts	Posted 04/07/2025 12:21 am Cool looking cent Is it a 10 dollar coin ? IMO to me...no, maybe 2 to 3 dollars. However I have seen some crazy numbers coming from ebay. You could do a sold search. Report this Post to the Staff
