xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 7:48 pm I've decided to start getting more serious about looking for errors. This is the second coin I've really examined and I'm wondering if this is anything at all? Maybe the slightly missing "E, S, & O" are due to a Grease Filled Die? Also, what is this crack going from the building to the "I"? If that even is anything. If I do have anything here, is there any value? I doubt I'll sell if it even has any value, but it'd be nice to know anyways. Thanks in advance for any help! Report this Post to the Staff

mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 05/18/2013 9:12 pm I see frequently the weakness on the letter STATES on the reverse side of a penny. It is common. The last picture shown is a small die crack. Usually it has no value. It has to be large or in an interesting place to have a value. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/19/2013 2:46 pm The type of die cracks that get error collectors interested are the ones that flow across the whole coin. Other ones are just common to them. There is a small die clash by Abe's nose. Nothing special though. Edited by coop 05/19/2013 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
