1942 Walking Liberty

Hello! I know it's been a while since my last post. After organizing my grandparents' coin collection, my "numismatic activities" have been reduced to looking through change and being disappointed. Might try bank rolls.

Anyways, I was wondering what would be the grade + value of this coin. It's a 1942 Walking Liberty (no mint mark).

Thank you in advance!

I'm at AU something.

 

Value is arount melt.

 

I see evidence of a cracked die running through "United" and e pluribus... And maybe top of branch between e and r if liberty. Could be an error coin.

 

It’s monitory worth is about six bucks at today’s silver price, but a whole lot more in sentimental value.

 

@HTF3Fisher72USN I did not spot that. I'm no error coin maestro, so let's get some other opinions. What do you think @paddyman98?

Below is a 40x magnified image of the "D" of United:

 

That second picture makes it look more like a scratch than a die crack, IMHO.

 

Yeah, there seem to be a lot of scratches on the coin in general. I'll take @Kirkuleez and @Yankee42 answer of melt.

 

Looks like a scratch to me.. Especially inside the letter D

 

It’s ok @MasterSamurai I have many coins from my father worth melt that I treasure.
