    Nice example of a die crack - I remember
    first finding these back in the late 50's/early 60's.

    At that time, finding die cracks, blob letters and numbers,
    BIE's, etc. were fun and exciting to get in change.

    Some of them, in fact most of them, were salable at that time
    for .50C to a dollar or two, but soon there were more found
    in circulation (or in BU rolls) than there were collectors for them,
    and the values went down to almost nothing - simple reason
    being that, just as you did today, they can still be found easily.

    It's a great coin to learn things - what a die crack (or other die
    error) looks like, and to compare it to a scratch, or something
    else that might confuse someone. It's a learning experience.
