    Nice coin. Die crack at 7k?
    We win when we work willingly. Nice historic coin.

    I totally missed that. Need better glasses.

    Die cracks are a huge plus in my world.

    I betcha most are clueless to the message in code.....but not only the Morse code ,and the die crack, but theres several other varieties on this specimen.... #898 is one, #3290 is another, like a lot of war year coinage quality control wasn't job #1. I suggest you sit down and have a look see on Coins and Canada for the full list of varieties.....as Im thinking there are a few more minor,as well major finds.;)

    Figuring out where to start is key. I'm also wondering if "international" code is the proper set to use. I will admit, I took a break fairly quickly. I need to do this when I'm on my PC and not this crappy phone screen.

    Morse code is international, Don't matter where you start.

    I remember getting my merit badge in code and signaling.

    Whats fun once you learn one seldoms forgets....its fun to tap out a message and see if anyone picks it up....
    As a bar fly I recall sitting after work one night having a beer waiting on a burger...well in walked this young lady
    Well endowed top side... sitting there with a smoke tapping my bic lighter on the bar wow...big boobs.! In code
    An old WWll pilot sitting a few stools down look up the bar ,and said "yes they are big!" "Can I buy you a beer?"
