Don't expect that much added value from the die crack, my collection of Victorian coins is full of them. There is way to much wear on the queen's face to fetch an MS or even AU. Overall it's a great coin. Thanks for sharing.

The coin is F15 or VF20 at best.
Usually you can buy Victoria large cents with die cracks at no premium.
With the 1895 cents specifically, you can easily get 3-10 die cracks on a single coin. I have one with 11 die cracks to be exact.

Yes, but what can be the value of this 1859 cent with a die crack and VF20 with luster (it doesn't show on the photos)

I am more talking about retail value than collector value.

$5.00 would be retail Value.

I would have to agree...
I pay about $5-$10 for die cracks on all large cents, and $15-$30 for die cracks on 1940-1952 50 cents.
