    Is this a cracked planchet?
    Any thoughts on this coin? Grade? Value?
    Thanks

    Cracked Die not Planchet.
    The die cracked so the metal from the blank flowed into the crack when it was struck.

    Also.. I believe it to a Clashed Die. You can see a slight image of the Reverse side on the field of the Obverse.

    Thanks. Think it is worth $90?
    I know value is a difficult question.

    IMO, the die crack neither adds nor reduces the value. The coin is worth whatever a standard 1911-D in that condition is worth

    I really like coins with cracks and clashes. Makes them a bit more fun. Some don't feel the same and don't care for them.

    value?
    That depends, the coin as pictured looks heavily cleaned.

    How does it look in hand?

    Thanks for everybody's replies. I was also worried about cleaning, but it looked pretty lusterous. Unfortunately, I don't have the coin, just the pictures, and I know people can do all kinds of things with photographs.
    In the end, I passed. Wasn't a good enough deal to risk getting burned.
    Thanks
