2005-S Proof Half Dollar Reverse Die Crack

PocketArtPocketArt Posts: 1,335 ✭✭✭✭✭

I purchased this coin/set from a member at the local coin club meeting last Wednesday. This coin is one of 5 identical that he had purchased back in 2005. All five sets had this die crack on the reverse of the half dollar. I purchased this set without hesitation, as another member indicated he wanted to check his own set first before committing to a purchase.

I also had this set, and was unaware of error; yet, didn't want to pass this one up for lack of checking! When I got home I checked my set and didn't have this one.

This late of modern proof should be rare with die crack. Blemishes otherwise in photo's are fibers, or, scratches on plastic.

    That is a really nice one!

  • That’s a pretty big one for modern proof standards

    Neat find. I went through my 4 2005 proof sets -- no score!
