Sheild Nickel With Die Crack

Anyone know how much one would be worth in very good condition?

What year and grade is it? Generally speaking a die crack will not add to the value on a Shield nickel. The mint had so much trouble with the hard copper nickel alloy that some years are harder to find without a die crack than with one.

1868 I think in VG condition.

From a dealer an 1868 in VG would go for about $30.
