That is odd - I have never see that before - Please post up full coin images of both sides, maybe we can piece this together with the full story on the coin

not sure what to call this big line on the penny. If it was mine, I'd call it Alan Bourdillion Traherne or Mississippi for short.   |

A combination of die cracking and split plating that was caused by Die Deterioration. -makecents-

do you know what I should classify it as or is it even worth keeping?

It is worth keeping as an example. Label it as described above: A combination of die cracking and split plating that was caused by Die Deterioration. |

This looks like a late die state Lincoln Cent with multiple rim-originating die cracks developing in a deteriorated die. That's actually a fairly common progression as a working die approaches retirement. The combination of deteriorated lettering and rim-to-letter cracks fits that scenario very well. Nice. JPL |

That's really strange, but a neat find.

...die crack...  I'm trying to understand why this would be a die crack since the "ragged" part furthest from the rim is incuse. I'm seeing definite Die Deterioration forming a Ridge Ring concentric to the rim, as well as split plating. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
