What do you guys think?

I meant to post the link to this one for sale for $750. Is this the same error?

Looks like the same die break to me, though less severe than his examples, and he is selling a set of 2...

Depends who is buying it really. My guess is at a B&M you would pay maybe $50 to $70. On ebay, it's anyone's guess.

I guess it really pays to have something graded.

Not the same. Nice find though. Yours almost looks like a heck of a lamination peel.

I think the op's coin was struck by the same die as the one in the link.
I think the op's coin is just an earlier stage of the break. As the die that is cracked continues to strike coins, the crack will only get worse.
Like conpewter said, the one shown in the link to Fred Weinberg's site is part of a set of 2 coins.

Great find Jasonb!

The crack will get worse. However, it will not change positions.

True. You are probably right. But...they are very close.

Yes they are, and this one is just as dramatic as the other. Even for an MS66 though, $750 is about 18x more than I would ever pay for it.

That is a major boo boo that he's got.

There are 4-5 shattered obverse (anvil) dies known among 2007-P dimes. Each incorporates a 50% retained cud. This is one of them.

Alrighty then, I can't pass up this opportunity to show off my 1931-S buffalo nickel again. I am partial to these errors that you can see with just your eyes. In my case I still need help as I wear glasses but I'm sure y'all know what I'm saying. Click here to enlarge
