2014Cent Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 02/02/2015 5:14 pm It is called a die crack. The crack was in the die that struck the coin. When struck, the metal in the coin filled that crack in the die, resulting in a raised line on the coin. Die cracks are very common on Lincoln Cents, especially at the corners of the memorial building like yours is. Report this Post to the Staff
