This 1942 5 cent coin displays a die break extending from the right leaf through the field , between the denticles to the edge of the margin.
Your comments are welcome.
Is there any value to this coin?

No real added value for a die crack. Keep it as an anomoly

It’s actually a Die Crack not a Die Break.
As Bill stated, no added value for a small crack, they are just too common,
especially during the war years when dies were pushed to the limit to preserve steel.
