Wow that's a cool find! I see at least 5. Any on the reverse? And is that MD in "NEW ZEALAND"?

 

What is the difference between a modern die crack and an ancient die crack?

 

That is the reverse. The obverse will have a picture of King George on it.

And Yes very cool to see, wonder if they got to the shattered die stage or replaced it before that happened.

 

Yep haha. I am used to coins with the date on the front though, so I will put them in albums with the reverse showing.

 

I was born in 1943, therefore, this coin qualifies for ancient.

 

reverse is clean

 

the age. You see less cracks in modern coins - and this one is rather severe

 

Here is the obverse

 

Canada has some 50c "hoof in date" varieties from that era, which are die cracks. Mine isn't significant enough though.

 

Let's face it! I'll never make it as a comedian.

 

Almost older than dirt. LOL I'm right behind you though.
