<p>[QUOTE="iGradeMS70, post: 1121130, member: 29109"]Hey CoinTalkers! I just need a little help with a quick issue. I am a somewhat experienced coin collector and I have a 1854-O W/ Arrows Liberty Seated Half Dollar in apx. CH. VF condition which I believe has a DIE CRACK. It is not listed in the Cherrypickers Guide or in any other well known coin variety/error book or magazine. Sorry, I cannot post a picture due to camera quality issues but I will try to describe it the best I can...If you have the obverse of the coin facing towards you, on the left side starting from about the 5th star up the crack goes down the outside of the stars with a nice circular motion the makes a quick turn going almost vertical under the date and passes right under the left arrows grazing the undermost side of it and stoping right between the 1 and 8. I am unsure whether this is a DIE CRACK or DIE BREAK. Are they the same thing, because that is what I always thought?! The "crack" is elevated slightly off of the coin so I KNOW it is not a dig or hairline scratch. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS ISSUE...? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Thank You Very Much For Your Time.</p><p> </p><p>-Brian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
