Question
I have a 1957-D average circulated Franklin Half Dollar that has a slight error. The R in Trust connects completely to the lower bust with a bar probably left from a die crack. I've searched all over the net for any info on my coin with no luck. Can you help.

Answer
Hello Joe,   

There was no listing for this mark on your coin.
There would not be any added value for a die crack on a coin. It is a no repeating error from normal wear.
There were more than 19 million Denver half dollars made that year and die cracks are common in large silver coins.
Only an error collector may pay a bit more for it.
