Tempest New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 05/15/2007 2:41 pm This penny has these weird lines all over it, and on the reverse it seems to have a crack? it goes all the way across. Plus, I cant tell if the 'st' in Trust is post-mint or not. Sorry if the pics are a little grainy..

GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 05/15/2007 3:28 pm Oh didn't see that in one of the pics. It's a defective die I believe "a coin showing raised metal from a large die crack, or small rim break" Report this Post to the Staff

garylcsr Pillar of the Community United States 1952 Posts	Posted 05/15/2007 3:54 pm The Obverse is a cleaned die. the line's are from the wire brush they used to clean the die. they just cleaned it really well lol no premium for it though if there was I would be rich I have thousands of cents like it lol the reverse is nothing more than a die crack also no premium hope this helps Gary Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 05/20/2007 7:47 pm From looking at the design features I'm guessing this is a 1983 cent. The lines coming out of the forehead are die scratches, likely to remove clash marks. The "ST" connected to the rim is probably die chips, small Cuds. The two jagged lines on the reverse are die cracks. Those two areas are very common stress points where cracks develop on that particular reverse (used from 1974 through 1987-1988).
