South Dakota Quarter Die Crack on Obverse

The banks in this area are starting to receive the South Dakota Quarters. I picked up a couple of rolls just to look over and found this one. Is there any collector interest in this sort of die break? Should I keep it? Spend it? Sell or trade it?

    I'd just wait, the verdict isn't out , yet. However, most die cracks are insignificant and actually quite normal as the die's wear out.
    Barring the speared bison nickel.(which I cannot understand having such value)... coins with these blemishes usually don't amount to much for collectors.

    That's kinda what I thought. I can't get the photo to link, but the crack starts fairly large and runs from the bottom edge through the D in Dollar, straight up over George's shoulder and tapers to an end about halfway up his neck.

    Post a pic if you can, John.
    This is one I found in a mint roll. I posted it previously with little interest or intrique from those who would know. Even still, they are cool and sorta unique in their own right.

    I dont really see a market for these so I spent mine.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!
