That is a nice error coin! The Obverse Die used on the coin was very near the point of total failure or shattering. What does the Reverse (back) look like?

That is a real nice find! Cracked die is correct, Ithink. What else could have caused that?

Yes that's a good find! I found one two years ago (it was a reverse die) and sold it for $80.

Yours might actually be better, it looks like someone cleaned the heck out of the one on ebay.

Don't quote me on this but I think the correct term for this is bilateral die crack, since the cracks don't appear to meet completely in the center. Frank will know for sure.
