No. this coin is just a common penny. You'd lose a bunch of money on it. You'd be lucky if you could sell that coin GRADED for under a dollar.

The Lafayette dollar is suspect... The peace dollar looks fine but it would really help to have better pictures...

looks like a little dent or scratch, not a die crack
