Crack Kills....Photos Included

Beside people it also kills a coin die

While playing with my daughters toy scope I decided to give my 1883-CC a once over for fun

At what point is a die thrown out?
When does a crack become a break?

Anybody have a specimen of a later die state? Would like to see some photos

The coin in question has some strong clashing, some nice cracks and a little color to it.

Clash on back of head....Looks like it was at least twice with a little rotation.



This cracking runs from the left star into Liberties neck thru the 1 and thru the 8's



This crack runs along AMERICA but looks the nicest between the E and R



Thanks,
Ken

I have an 83 cc gsa dollar with same crack through the eight. Nice photos through a toy scope.

Slightly OT, but I love this crack for sale now on the bay. Doubt I'll win it though, I have to go out of town...

Nice pics.....but sorry to say, that is nothing but and EDS.

Here are a couple that are late die states but there are a few here that are even more dramatic owned by others on the board.

I never thought it was something special.

Just wanted to know a couple of things is all....I know that the 21's had some hard core breaks.

I was thinking maybe somebody had a later die state that and would post photos of it.

Thanks,
