    You ask if it helps or hinders, as in value I presume.
    I think the color does not help, nor does the die crack.
    The obverse is struck with a Mis-aligned die.
    All these thing detract from it being a "choice" coin. JMO.

    Die cracks to/from the edge to the Memorial building is a common place to happen, but doesn't add much above face value, in my opinion.

    I missed the die crack earlier so that is nice. I like the color of the reverse so overall a nice find. I don’t think there’s extra value here but still nice.

    SURE Dude!
    We had one of these. "Ma Bell".
    We actually had to rent it also for a small monthly fee. See, we even got screwed back then!

    telephone wire?
    I thought that was a carrier pigeon landing zone ??


    From the surface corrosion, one would think it's a zincoln and not copper.
