No clue what this is, any ideas?
the line on the left side runs over the first letter T in STATES, where the line on the right side goes under the A in AMERICA both parallel to each other and they both stop at the urns on the stairway
thanks

Those rasied lines, I believe, are the result of the die that was used to strike the coin being cracked.

I've never seen such significant die cracks on a Memorial cent before. That is quite an amazing find!

1995 LMC's seem to have a lot of die cracks on the reverse. I keep die cracks only when they cover at least half of the coin. Probably no added value though.

Die cracks usually don't add any value, but this is an interesting one and the first of its type I've seen. If you don't need to spend it right now, keep it!
