    The radial crack at 5:30 is nice, but most cracks don't really add a lot to value unless they are pretty severe. Still, it's a nice coin.

    That die is nearly shattered--I like it! :D If this were a US coin, especially a 19th C. issue, it would undoubtedly have a premium. Dollar value all depends on local collector demand; I own a lot of older Finland coins, and haven't seen much interest in cracks on collector sites there--but that doesn't mean this isn't a nice one. :)

    European collectors have no real interest in production faults.

    Quite possibly because there are so many more different coins to collect than the limited range of US issues there is far less nitpicking over the trivial details of common issues.
    Varieties and mintmarks are duly noted, but the odd die crack or wobbly strike just don't attract extra money, that could be used to buy something different.

    We already know you place no value on errors and die varieties. ;) I would note some overdates and other varieties on UK coins garner nice premiums. And there are some rather high-profile overdates that sell for big money in auctions in Sweden, and doubled dies are quite popular to some collectors in Finland. It all depends on local collector interest.
