nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15389 Posts	Posted 04/29/2026 09:59 am to the CCF Die cracks were a common occurrence in early USA nickels. I'm not sure you are going to be able to attribute this to any particular variety, but check out the links provided by smat.

Of more interest to me, the color/toning on the subject nickel is superb! Great type coin, this! Report this Post to the Staff
