GTG, I'm not gonna black out the cert so no cheating. Also looking for opinions on what's going on between 3 and 6 o'clock of the obverse. I was looking through varieties and any other photos I could find and I can't find another pic like it. Thanks

Shattered obverse die. Looks 64

Agree.
Thanks guys. Is it worth sending back in as an error? This is a coin from my 1st submission so I'm learning the ropes here.
Die cracks and lots of die polishing, weak strike. Do not know enough about these to gtg. Interesting coin though and would be a good teaching coin imo.
No, die cracks aren't considered an error. Nice nickel, 64 or 5 would be my guess
Collector, occasional seller
No. Die trauma on shield nickels is quite common.

Not worth paying the 'Mint Error' tier price
to have it just say 'Obv. Die Cracks', imo
Put a small white sticker on it saying that,
if you want to, but I'm pretty sure it would
be easily seen in-hand.
Thanks for the opinions everyone. This is my 1st GTG post. How long should I wait b4 I tell u guys how good you are at guessing?
MS 64 with crack
Best place to buy !

You should go to CoinFacts and see your coin,
along with other coins that have similar die
cracks and other faults. Your coin is the 13th
coin down from the top.
It was a common problem with this series.
