LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 6:14 pm I've never really looked for errors before but found this while sorting through some of my 1940's wheat pennies. Is this considered a die crack? Is it worth pulling out of my common wheat pennies pile? I know the picture isn't the best. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 02/27/2015 8:23 pm Q: Is it worth keeping A: Do you like it? Don't let other people's collecting preferences affect your personal style of collecting. If you don't like it & it is rare...would you still keep it? Report this Post to the Staff

LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 03/09/2015 9:42 pm Thanks. Sorry it has been a few days, I am having problems getting a good picture. Is this any better? It looks like a small fault line. The penny isn't damaged at all so I don't think it got crushed or something. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/10/2015 12:41 pm It's still hard for me to tell, but I'm leaning toward "it took a hit". Keep it. I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was a lamination error. Report this Post to the Staff
