My Nup for the day or week......it's been a while....I had wrong pic at first!

When I saw this coin I thought it was a possible RPD for my Variety Type set, but getting it in hand I see that it is just a nasty die crack going thru the date. I thought I would post a pic of it any way. It's a very nice strike with all stars on the obverse nicely struck and a fairly nice strike on the reverse. I don't really know what I am going to do with it....may start a Liberty Nickel Set. The actual coin is not quite as dark as the pic. It's really a nice coin for the grade of a series that I have always liked. Comments welcomed.

    It looks like a nice example and has a solid look to it. Great addition.

    Best place to buy !

    Weird.

    Nice Nickel...one of my all time favorite series along with the 3 centers.


    Later, Paul.

    Weird.

    I didn't mean that I didn't like the D/C. By "nasty" I just meant it was not a straight or even close to straight crack. Wrong terminology I guess. :/

    Looks like 2 die cracks. One at the date and one between the s and o. Funny how it goes through the s. Nice solid coin. I like. Good pickup.

    Is that definitely a die crack or some sort of RPD or overdate?

    Why does it have to be close to a straight crack, where do you come up with this stuff? ;)

    Interesting coin Jon.... and the die crack on the reverse almost looks as if it were the main crack, penetrating to the obverse.... Cheers, RickO

    RE: "My Nup for the day or week..."

    Since the OP is a "Dimeman" was there a "pre-Nup" necessary before the nickel purchase? ;)
