Lets see some WLH die cracks and sunburst

[Deleted User]

I am wondering how tough die cracks are on WLH and would really like to see some of the sunburts varieties on WLH.
This would be educational!

I do not have any WLH's with die cracks.... Had not thought about that before.... I am sure they are out there. Cheers, RickO

No die cracks that I'm aware of but here are a variety of nice sunbursts, IMO There are some beauties on the forum. Hope they show up.

Probably beyond sunburst:

The 1939D almost always shows a die crack on central area of the reverse, through the eagle, though this one is more prominent than most:

Those are nice coins.
Maybe word hasn't spread on this variety yet.
This is a sunburst variety.

Have not heard of it. What date/mm is your coin. Does it appear on other date/mm's?

Here is a link to a thread that has been created on the 1945 P Sunburst Variety.

1945 is the year. You need to be careful when seeking them out. Some of the die cracks are probably early stage and are barely noticeable. The one I bought is what you want.
Like anything else watch for fakes. The cracks are not recessed into the coin. That might be a silly comment but not everyone may be aware.
I don't want anyone to get taken for money.

@jtlee321 Thank you, I see PCGS still does not recognize it, at least not listed on coinfacts that I see.
Interesting.

@Watchtower I didn't know what you meant re:Sunburst, but thanks to your post, I now do. I appreciate your education.
