I found this one on a 1993 Memorial penny, around the top middle of the Memorial: Most likely it may just be damage over time, but I was curious enough to post it here. Can someone let me know if I have a crack or if it is just damage? Thanks! PS, Pics were taken with phone through loop magnifier, sorry if quality isn't as good, but I tried for the best possible pic! Edited by MrRabbit 02/13/2018 04:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

This can happen on the strike on the outside devices, the outside of the columns, oor post strike from someone damaging the coin. When this split that exposes the zinc happens, the countdown for the coin begins. It ends when the zinc all disappears. Not a keeper. Spend it. Report this Post to the Staff
