Woo hoo! My first die crack

AlixTCat

I used to work in a convenience store back in the 80's. One day I opened the register and found that the morning cashier had cracked open a roll of bank wrapped 1957 dimes. I bought all that were left in the drawer, fished the old paper roll out of the garbage and put them back in the roll. Then I forgot about them for 20 years. I found them today and started going through trying to find any full torch band coins. The reverses of all of them were very mushy. I found three that might be FB, but under 10X they were not even close. However, on one, I found a die crack. The reverse is extremely mushy, obviously a VERY late die state, with a crack. The crack is from the bottom of the torch through the "D" in Dime. My images are usually very good, but these dimes did not image very well. But you can plainly see the die crack. I know it is not much to most of you, but I am so excited, it is the first I have found in circulation.



Thanks for looking and any comments you may have.

I think it's cool. These kinds of things keep it fun.

No, there is only the one crack. Kind of looks like one in the picture, but not on the coin under 10X.
