I have never seen one as pretty as this even among uncirculated examples. A U.S. Civil War date to boot!
Pop. 8 with 10 better. A recently auctioned MS63 doesn’t have this much eye appeal. The white spot on The Queen’s temple is a reflection that can’t be seen in hand.
It pains me to great rid of this coin, but I need to refocus my collecting efforts.
$125 via check or PayPal.
This coin has cool die breaks. One is visible coming down from the left of the crown. The second is not visible on the trueview.
It comes down from the crown on the right, skirts the 4 in the date then goes all of the way to the K in Brunswick.
It is a very interesting piece!

A very nice NB copper coin with a lot more interesting die breaks than you mentioned.
This issue is known for die clashes. Some are quite dramatic. The cracks you are referring to are probably outlines of Vicky. The one shown to the left is her back shoulder and neck.
