Is this a cracked die, or are my eyes fooling me?
I've read that war nickels often suffered from die cracks.
Thanks!

Looks like a die crack to me. Too bad it isn’t an S mint mark. It could almost be a $ crack…
cool. I went ahead and bought it on ebay. I wanted a choice example of silver war nickel, and the crack makes this one interesting...
It's a die crack.. Very cool...

Yes a die crack for sure and it continues down thru the building.

yes, they really do.
keep looking and you'll find a bisected die. since there are plenty out there, you may desire that over a large radial crack/break.
It's a die crack. There's also a nice 1944-S with a die crack right thru the "S" that looks like a dollar sign. Image courtesy of Coin Community.
Yes!
Yes, like Lance says die cracks on these are common. I have one with two bisecting cracks on the rev. One going N to S and one going E to W.
Yes a nice bisecting die crack, war year nickels have more varieties then other years.
The 43 P there are 70+ rpm's alone! Not to mention the ddr's ,ddo's and over date.

I like it - nice example

Yes and nice pick up
I like it also.
I find a lot of them on Lincoln cents when I do a roll search.
See if you can put a set of war nickels together will all having die cracks.
