This 1957 Franklin looks better in hand than you might guess from the photos.
I like this coin. It looks like Ben is crying blue tears.
Cleaned? AT? I haven't gotten a BB yet... Will it be my first?
Looks like there might be a juicy die crack--please advise. Russ, I'd like to hear from a few of the others before you post. Thanks!

Die crack, or no?

Edit: Laughing cuz the OP asked Russ to hold off, and well, nevermind... That response just read funny to me.
I think it looks perfectly normal for an old coin. It doesn't look out of the ordinary.

The coin has about a 15 degree die rotation. I'm still wondering if that is actually a die crack or something else.
TIA
it's not a die-crack.
collectable rotation amount;
The U.S. Mint allows up to 22 degrees
rotation - I've seen the sign saying so
myself at the Phila. Mint.....

What I was referring to is the line from the R in Leberty to the T in Trust. It isn't behind the head and looks like a terrible scratch at first glance.
