dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 09/26/2009 10:14 pm I'm taking a survey of this coin. If you have one, can you please answer the following questions for me. Thanks in advance to all that participate. 1. Does your coin have a Obv die cracks only, if so where? 2. Does your coin have Rev die cracks only, if so where? 3. Does your coin have both Obv and Rev die cracks, if so where? Thanks, Dan in Crystal Lake Report this Post to the Staff

Bill in Burl Valued Member 197 Posts	Posted 09/27/2009 1:37 pm I have 3 with no D/C's either side, 3 with just the D/C alongside the right leg of the N in Canada, and 2 with the Obv D/C at the N now appreciably bigger and also with the thick D/C through leaf #9 to the denticles. The 2 with the D/C's both sides also exhibit all the other Obv D/C's that we have noted in the past... through the tops of the T & I in Gratia, the ICT of Victoria, and the are &T of Victoria. The finnal coin that I looked at, especially must have been one of the last with that Rev die, as the crack at 6:00 (leaf 9) is huge and the Obv crack at the N is also getting very thick. I would also note that the left foot of the are in Gratia is recut. Some of my coins have the "Vicky crud" on them and I don't want to clean them and 2 are VG at best, so some D/C's may not show.

Bill in Burl Valued Member 197 Posts	Posted 09/27/2009 1:43 pm Correction to my post a few minutes ago. In Victoria, the D/Cs are through the tops of the ICT and RI. And the recut in Gratia is the foot of the "R", not the "are". Report this Post to the Staff

snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 10/26/2009 11:11 pm Here is mine.. A little embarrassing, this is one of the "yet to be upgraded" coins. Not a Die Crack in sight. Edited by snaz 10/26/2009 11:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
