1943-D DIE CRACKS GRADE?? VALUE??

 

I just bought a UNC. Wartime set and was just looking at them this morning, and noticed that the 1943-D has 2 nice die cracks on the Rev. was this common during this time period also what do you think this coin grades as it is UNC. and has some nice golden toning I am guessing from being in the Whitman holder it was in. What would the value of this coin be?? any info would be great thanks,D

ANYONE??

[Bruceswar]

There are only a few die cracks in this series that bring a real premiun. These are not them. Still cool to have.

[copperman]

Thanks Bruce.

 

are they worth getting graded though? i know scan looks like *spoon* but coin looks alot better inhand. Should I have this one graded and find another for my Dansco?

 

thanks again for reply!!

[Bruceswar]

I would put this in a dansco ablum if I were you.

[copperman]

I'd agree that the coin would make a better album coin than one for a slab. The only '43-D nickels that carry a premium are those graded MS67 with 5 or 6 steps. The nickels of that year/Mint were hoarded, so there are plenty of them around in great shape. Unattractively toned pieces are better off lightly dipped and placed in albums to re-tone. Many of these toned with a mottled or speckled appearance due to improper storage in rolls. All things considered, your coin is about a 10-15 dollar piece and is a good album stuffer with the added interest from the die cracks.

Acetone usally works well, but be sure you know what your doing first.

where can I get info on how to do this so I don't mess up my coin??

[Bruceswar]

Best thing I would do is talk to your local dealer about it. He will be able to provide you with all the info needed.

[copperman]

ok coin has been fixed(got very quick bath) now here it is....

 

 

hope this looks alot better??

 

 

 

after bath went back to dansco for a long sleep .

[Bruceswar]

Your bath revealed a couple of nasty marks. Still looks better if you ask me.

i agree just a filler for now in the ol dansco and looks alot better than before.

The 1942-S has the infamous "Flag Pole" die crack running from the very peak of the Monticello dome to the rim...hence the name flag pole.

 

This is the first 43-D I see with multiple die cracks, they may command a bit more in premium, but as being unique or sought after, the full step designation is what will be sought after first.

 

You now have a nice filler for your album, amazing what a little dippity doo will do.

[Bruceswar]

Die cracks are rather common. They do not bring any premium.
