<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2340881, member: 19463&quot;]Now you have a croc head.&nbsp; They struck those with various die axes so you can get halves with either man and either end of the croc.&nbsp; You can get a full length croc on a half or a coin with the top half of the reverse and hardly any croc (but why would you want to???).&nbsp; What I have not seen is a coin halved across the portraits so you get the full legend top or bottom.&nbsp; There are a few broken very unevenly with some of each portrait but most cutters made an effort to go between the heads.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What is a half worth?&nbsp; They go for a lot less than half the price of a whole of equal grade.&nbsp; Many people see a defective item but these were halved for spending so they are legitimate asses IMHO.&nbsp; Still, I have never paid a quarter of a whole price. </p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/0halfcrocs.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
