As you can tell from looking below the bell, the coin is a half dollar. Also, if you check any history book you'll find that the Liberty Bell really does have a crack in it.
Butt crack
No. It's actually expected.
July 8,1836
Technically there is only one large crack which is held together by the slot of metal able to be seen in any photo of the bell. But, it was broken into that large crevice two different times. Only on George Washington's birthday (the date the second part of the crack ocurred) did they move it from its original place in Independence Hall.
It originally cracked when first rung after arrival in Philadelphia 1752. The bell was used to summon lawmakers to legislative sessions and to alert citizens to public meetings and proclamations. The crack's current appearance is the result of work that was done to prevent further damage. The opening was drilled out and a bolt was inserted at the top of the cutout to stabilize the metal.

The parts of the Liberty Bell are the yoke, crown, head, shoulder, waist, sound rim, tip, mouth, clapper, and bead line. The liberty bell also has an inscription on the top of the bell and a crack.
