    Got this three cent nickel for a type set and, man, they must have used the hell out of these dies. I count seven die cracks along the edge of the obverse!

    That actually looks like some funky Lamination issue.

    I like the IDB from 7 to 9. Looks like an inner rim cud.

    Those type of coins are hard to find one without a die crack. Nice pick up and welcome to CT.
