Since I collect early copper and also early half dimes by die marriage, I have a lot of coins with die cracks. But here's one of my favorites....
I4 thru Orlando is all complete and it is very nice.

Here's my Paquet half dime. He designed the half dime obverse only for the Philly only issue of 1859 and some 1860 transitional issues. The...
