Maybe the last coin struck before the die shattered? I sure wish IGWT was here.image

    Some day I will make a reverse impression of what the die resembled on heavily die cracked coins.

    This one is just amazing(ly cool).

    That's great! Die must have fallen apart not long after.

    Yep - die was toast. The coin is so bad that it really has no value. Send it on to me and I'll send you a perfect nickel!

    What's keeping that die together is what I'm wondering.

    Wow, that's cool. I was freaked out by the "extra cluster" of leaves on the right side until I realized that is not supposed to be there.

    That is sho' bussid up.

    Looks like it was poorly soldered together.
    Cool.

    While large die cracks and breaks are extremely common on shield nickels, it is very unusual to find a coin with so many different large die breaks, not to mention two(!) major internal cuds. It's surprising the coin doesn't fall apart in your hands.
