Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 05/06/2008 8:43 pm My vote is for crack. But it looks like it's getting close to being large enough there on top of his head to qualify for break. Report this Post to the Staff

zacharycash Pillar of the Community United States 668 Posts	Posted 05/06/2008 8:49 pm I think it is a chip and a crack, but dont take my word for truth. The three coins have the same markings because they were struck from the same die that had the chip/crack. Report this Post to the Staff

chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 05/07/2008 10:12 pm Thanks to all! Bill: What came first- the die chip on the top of Lincoln's head or the crack that goes from the right end of the chip down across the forehead and into Lincoln's eye? FYI- I ended up with 26 coins with this chip/crack out of 10 OBW Rolls of 1999P Lincoln's looking for the 99 Wide AM. 19.23% ratio. Given those numbers, this has to be pretty common- although I have not yet found a Business Circulated 1999P yet with this indentical chip/crack that all 26 of these coins have.
