I realize this probably is not worth anything, but would like to know if this is a cracked die error? I believe it runs all the way from the rim on the north side of the 'I' in UNITED to the top left corner of the building, then all the way across the top and down the right side and goes out to the rim from the bottom right corner of the steps. Am I seeing that right?

I can see the die cracks coming of the upper left and lower right of the memorial. Those are popular stress points for the reverse dies to crack at, as well as the other corners.

But, I can't tell if it continues to run across and down the right side of the memorial to call it a rim to rim crack. That would be a pretty wild find it does. Maybe someone else can see it.

HaHa, yeah, it's probably not possible to tell if it runs along the top and down the side. I'm pretty new to this, I guess I just assumed (terrible thing to do) that the line would continue along to the other side since there appeared to be a crack there too.

Agree with Scooby,I see a lot of them in the same places that are visible on your coin.

Die cracks have NO market value. So if you are looking for valuable coins - stop picking out the cracks. They are very common.
