Yes, When the bell cracked, remedial work was done on it. 1.The bell was rotated, so the crack was away from the hammer. 2.The hammer weight was reduced. 3.The bell had squares cut into it, either side of the crack, to stop the crack increasing. In this form the bell still rings today.
A large crack runs from the bottom of the bell to the inscription on the upper portion of the bell.
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.

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.
{| |- | The famous flaw is the crack. It has cracked many times and has actually been recast twice. The current crack is a result of repairs. It is believed that the current crack occurred when the bell tolled the death of John Marshall. |}
