Errors like this are so very common. If someone hit you in the head with a cast iron skillet every day, I think you would have a few cracks, too.

Your warped images made me dizzy..

 

You and usmc60 should get together, some pretty radical colors there.

 

Sorry, my hands shake and my eyes aren't what they used to be.

 

Yeah - mine either

 

Please - nobody should get together with 60

 

Why?

A die can of course crack at any point but this type of die crack that somewhat follows the rim while not connecting to it is something that I see more often in pre 1900 coins. Interesting, thanks for sharing.

 

Found another die crack 1993 P five cent.

 

Nice find ! This type of die crack, with the crack running from the rim to the head on the obverse , is called a Spiked Head . The web site Cuds-On-Coins has recently started listing these. Here is a link to the page http://cuds-on-coins.com/jefferson-nickel-spike-heads-1990-1999/
Your coin I do not see so it could be a new listing should you send it in. The 1994P-01b is a coin I submitted .

 

Thanks for the info I will check into it.

 

Cuds-On-Coins listed my Spiked Head Nickel as a new listing. Thanks for the info. http://cuds-on-coins.com/jefferson-nickel-spike-heads-1990-1999/

 

I did not know Cud On Coins worked with die cracks, thanks for mentioning it. Lately I have found a few nice "Spider Web" cracks, those that that branch out. (My terminology maybe?).

 

Must be from that fish you caught in your avatar.

 

Very cool!

 

Looks like Jefferson sneezed to me. He should have covered his nose.

 

@rww67 I see you have returned!
