boatshed New Member Australia 45 Posts	Posted 06/18/2019 02:34 am Depending on the light this seems more of a ridge, not a crack. Is this a variety? 1924 Penny with at least 4 different die cracks that I've found so far. I'm a newbie so I don't know the lingo yet... Report this Post to the Staff

I don't know for sure, but my guess is that the strip from which the blank was cut was not of constant thickness. Report this Post to the Staff
