Is this the largest die crack ever or something else (23-D Peace $)

    Weird right. I've never seen one anything like this. Looks like it could be turned into a washer if you popped out the middle. Anyone seen anything like this?

    That's pretty cool, i like die cracks. It looks like that die was about to fall apart.

    I love that Peace dollar variety. Very dramatic!

    Here’s another great die crack:

    I was just about to reference that one @TypeCoin971793 (you've posted it before) - it looks like the die is holding together with about two bridges between stars...

    I think the photography makes it look like that. At first glance it looks like the crack doesn't run between stars 3 & 4 and 9 & 10, but the crack is actually continuous all the way around.

    I didn't end up winning the bid. Sorry, if i didn't make that clear.. I did not own this coin at this point; i had just never seen a die crack like that. Someone did win it for ~$70. I checked PCSG (where i have my subscription) and it didn't look as if they would attribute this.. so i wasn't willing to spend too much on a raw 23-D.
