Sandon Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Is your coin a 1942-S, as this topic is titled, or a 1944-S as shown? Bisecting reverse die cracks seem to be a relatively frequent occurrence on wartime composition five cent coins. The 1942-S in my album has a similar crack, albeit in a somewhat different position running from the "S" in "PLURIBUS" through the last "S" in "STATES": rrantique 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was a rim to rim but had worn off due to circulation. If you hold it in the light you can see where it went across the side of his head.
