    Just off the cuff, without looking at Photograde or anything like that, I'd say that one looks XF to me. Let's say XF40.

    Photos do not show the entire coin, obverse and reverse. As shown, no guess, no insult, just my opinion. Good luck

    I'm not strong in grading but did notice the oddity and deformation of the top of the O and L under the MM on the reverse. Looks like a die crack to me. What do others think?

    It looks more like a hit (circulation mark) to me, but admittedly I do not know for sure. It could be some kind of die anomaly, I suppose. If that irregularity on top of the O is raised rather than depressed, I suppose that’s possible. But circulation hits can move the metal around in funny ways.

    I agree with your thoughts about a circulation hit, IMO.

    It's a common date and given the wear the grade won't make any difference. It's only worth junk grade pricing.

    IMO it's an interior die break with a crack that possibly extends into the L as well.

    Current melt value is just under $20. (Like 19.98 or something).

    Is that good and is it possible worth more than melt value

    There is no die crack. The "O" has been struck by a foreign object, wide enough to also scrape the lower section of the "L" and the result is raised material on both letters. My opinion is the coin has been cleaned at some point, EF-40 is worth around $35 per NGC and the coin does not exhibit the result of a cracked die on the surface of the "O & L."

    Interesting. That does not completely rule out PMD- as mentioned, a hit can move metal around, even upwards- but not without a corresponding “trench” or dig nearby.

    So it could be a die variety of some kind, I suppose. I doubt it would be anything worth a premium even if it is.

    But I’ll defer to the VAM people and such. I don’t get into all that, so I don’t know.

    Worst case scenario, you have a decent sized piece of silver bullion with .7734 ounces of silver, if I remember the ASW correctly.
