Silvio, that looks raised to me, not incuse. I think we need to ask the OP on that question.
@Izzylizzy: is that thing you are pointing out raised or incuse?

It's definitely raised, but what about the weight I have about 7 more that all Wei h 3.11 or there abouts. I think I just need a better pic of the date cause its more aligned then the other ones I have

I never ever saw a Die Crack with this form. Bottom corner of the mausoleum is a normal place for cracks and further on center of design but curve as is ? Sorry no Idea. First time see. Interesting..

With the last photo I can see the Zinc expand. So is just the oxide from the Zinc who get out.

If none of the others have a mint mark and they have the same date then they are just Philly copper large date vs this one which is Philly zinc large date. If the date is different they are Philly copper small date. Both are common.

I see a common zinc Philly mint large date coin.
I've never seen a die crack in that shape - curious on that.
Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artToo many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time.

First off it is a large date. Copper should weigh 3.1 grams and copper plated zinc 2.5 grams +/- .12 grams mint tolerance. I see pits on the reverse of your coin, so I am inclined to say it is a copper plated zinc core cent. The die crack on the reverse lower right steps is kinda common and have seen and spent many.

( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971

This fg is like right on the edge of the memorial like touching it, but looks just like yours where u from if u don't mind me asking just wonder how far away from each other they are!!! I'm in South Florida bugil this one has the interior too!I think there is another one of the 4th column from the right side as well as the other end of the memorial a spot or two though not very big!
