GRcoins Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 11/18/2014 8:41 pm Hi All I looked this coin up on coppercoins and it has some of the LDS markers, especially the line from Lincoln's brow to his hair and the slight mound between the lower end of the S mint mark and the curve of the S - though the mound isn't so visible in the photos. It does have an enhanced wheat grain, but it is on the left rather than the right side, and an apparent large die crack in the wheat on the left which extends to the rim (though the example on coppercoins does not). I can't see any sign of the line in the O or the E or the small die scratches. Any comments would be appreciated! GRcoins Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/19/2014 01:54 am I'm seeing a typical coin from this era. The dies were over used and showing die cracks and chips. There is a strong die crack on the reverse, but not a Retained Cud yet in this dies life. Just a normal circulated cent from what I can see. Report this Post to the Staff
