I found one that has a long die crack running in the bell lines ending with a break on the upper bell line. I will post pics later but wanted to see some others. I dont know how common they are in the Franklins

i think all my frankies have a crack in the bell.

59-D?

Die cracks in the bell kinda parallel to the BL's are quite common on the 59's.

But a true die BREAK? no . never seen one and I am always looking for Franklin errors.

Other than the one Bushmaster mentioned, off hand, I can't think of any other dies breaks in Franklins.

maybe a minor die crack here or there ........but never saw a die break on a Franklin

here is what I have. I am about to throw this POS camera in the trash.

You cannot see all of it but the die crack starts at the bell crack and crosses through the bell lines to the top bell line.

This is a horrible pic but it highlights the area I am talking about.

What are your thoughts

Ah yes, the 54 also has BL cracks. They woan make you rich.

You might also find die cracks on the lower bust (obverse) on some Frankies.

Would this be considered a crack and not a break?

bushmaster8 · April 28, 2007 12:34PM
