Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 03/07/2020 5:59 pm Ok. Is that a die crack across the front? I believe in the law of averages - I will eventually find a true error coin :) Report this Post to the Staff

I'm not sure about that being a die crack coming off of Abe's lip though. It looks more like staining.
