    Mine is not the E/A version, but it is a PCGS 35 and has die cracks galore. James Ruddy personally sold me this coin. I had just bought a house with more cracks than this coin and I wanted a heavily cracked coin to commemorate our new home. James

    Thanks for posting that nice coin, Sam. Lots of cracks!

    Talking about cracks at home: we had a couple of those too and it freaked me out thinking my house was going to crumble and sink to the ground. A friend then told me that very fine hairline cracks like we had - about 0,1 mm - are common and nothing to worry about. I guess he was right because 18 years later the house is still standing. L-shaped cracks more than 2-3 mm, that's another story.
