Can't find my overton book. Can anyone identify a 1838 bust half by the die crack alone?

Die crack is between the f and the d in half dol. on the reverse. Is that enough info? Wish I could find my book!!!!

Even in any book it takes more than one point to get a die pair. And yes Overtone does not cover this one even though that point went right over my head when I made my first reply.
not the reeded edge ones.
You need to look at the new Graham's book.
2. The first Reeded Edge half dollars were noted for die cracks. It's almost harder to find one without cracks that one with die cracks.
