I bought this coin a few months ago from a coin store here in nyc for $25. I only picked it because it looked unc. It also just arrived in the store a few minutes before I got there. It was the only one I bought that was in a capsule. I just noticed the other day when I went to sell it on ebay that I seen a die crack! At closer look I found die cracks all over the coin! I must have looked at the coin a dozen times and cant believe I never seen these!
Mines bigger!!! At first I thought it was a dirty film or something, only because it was all over the coin. Obverse and reverse! Looks like a spiders web. Ive seen others up on ebay but the pictures are so bad you cant even see them and I doubt they are really cracks. Now I kind of wish I had it graded before I put it up for auction...its even uncirculated dam it!! I cant believe you found that ring metal detecting ikandigit. I went detecting last few summers and always find cool things. I searched old foundations, wells, the path from the wells to the foundations, and around huge old trees. I live in nyc so I have to go upstate. Ive been to Freedom Trail, and Dennings point(where the federalists papers were written). No Relic Hunting signs really make me mad, especially after doing a lot of research on a spot.
