1862 IHC Variety?

Can anyone tell me if what I see the right is a die crack or a variety. I know little about IHC varieties. Dealer is asking $25.00. Thanks.

Way too much! IMO!

 

I see the die crack. Cool.

 

In general yes, too much but is it a variety?

 

I like die cracks but I don't see this as a variety.

 

I highly, highly doubt it, Tommy...

Be careful with sellers pushing die cracks as being premium-worthy. Short of a shattered die or select extreme examples, more often than not they're used as a gimmick to part collectors from their money.

 

Thanks, much appreciated. I need to bone up on IHC's anyways. Die cracks always have a draw for me but with these I was not sure if the crack might have indicated a variety or not. I'm not jumping on anything, just looking around and for advice.

 

Die cracks are not often encountered as variety diagnostics for IHC's.
At best they might be used to determine die state.
Also notice the die crack on the reverse from 11 to the wreath.

I checked Snow's guide and neither cracks are mentioned.

 

Thanks very much!

 

I see that she cut herself shaving. lol jk

 

Yes, reverse die crack.

But, too much obv damage
