This crack extends from Lincoln's right shoulder on the reverse through the "E" in America. I found another die crack online but it was from the outer edge of the coin through the "E" in States and ended in front of Lincoln's face. http://www.ronwintercoins.com/2009Lincoln.pdf Let me know what you think.

I don't consider them errors or Varieties. They are very common and not worth anything. To be fair I actually just saved my first die crack I have ever kept. It started at the upper rim of the coin and went down all the way through the Memorial and stopped at the bottom of the memorial. So I guess extreme examples I might keep. I did enjoy reading the article that you posted. It seemed to be about the process of dies and their lifecycle more so than about a die crack. Happy Hunting! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 1:42 pm w The only practical usage for die cracks, chips, gouges, breaks is to help identify die states on variety dies. Here is an example: (Looks like the one you found) I found this one one of the doubled die reverses on the coppercoins die: http://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln/...ie_state=mds I see it wasn't listed yet, but a new marker for the LDS example. There are more interesting things to look for on coins. But you will learn more as time goes on. But there are out there. (To help you lean more quickly you might read my message line.)
