323GTX New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 06/25/2014 2:32 pm I found this 1942-S Lincoln while coin roll hunting earlier this year. It has what appears to be extra metal in the rim at about 10 o'clock, and an impressive crack that originates from this anomaly and right through the bust's neck. I've had a couple of LCS look at it, and they just shrug their shoulders with indifference, point out that it has been harshly cleaned at some point, and then tell me it isn't worth keeping (without saying what is actually going on with the coin, of course. I don't know if this qualifies as a Cud or something else. I'm not even sure how to describe the crack. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff
