In a roll of 2011 pennies I found these two pennies with what I think is a die break. Any advice on should I keep these or put in the junk box.  |

These are actually called die cracks. These have been popping up on many of the recent issues of cents and are not all that uncommon. Still very cool, though.

Keep them. I my opinion, and I am no expert, the zincolns deteriorate at an alarming rate.

Kman, can you go onto my web page in the coin section and look at the canada coin I have at the bottom of the page and tell me what you think caused it. Thank you http://www.wz1f |

Sorry Think you had better ask the pros today one, I just started collecting.
I would be guessing but I would say a combination of poor mixing of metals along with water or chemical damage.
