jbuck Moderator United States 200382 Posts	Posted Today 5H 37M ago It is worth keeping as an example. Label it as described above: A combination of die cracking and split plating that was caused by Die Deterioration.

colonialjohn Pillar of the Community United States 1803 Posts	Posted Today 1H 14M ago This looks like a late die state Lincoln Cent with multiple rim-originating die cracks developing in a deteriorated die. That's actually a fairly common progression as a working die approaches retirement. The combination of deteriorated lettering and rim-to-letter cracks fits that scenario very well. Nice.
