Hard to find a die crack of such quality on a coin of such quality. Is this coin included in your category of 'crappy coins'? I know you have mentioned your dislike of non perfect examples.!! Would photograph beautifully imo.!!:laughingneqw:

It's not that I dislike errors; it's just that I don’t actively pursue them.
I had this in the spares album simply marked as VF.

I'm not fussy about grades, but I do like it, but then I'm a bit of an error crackpot.  :winkextra:

i was thinking of putting this up as a trade for a MS/Uncirculated 1966 double bar 50 cents, Do you think that would be a fair trade nevol?

I think that would be getting close to a fair trade. Unfortunately i dont have an MS 1966 double bar.

Yeah, fair trade for 50c.  I wish I had one I could trade for it, but I doubt any of mine would go MS63. :cray:
