Please grade. I'm still working on my pictures. This one is taken with an LED light ring which is supposed to give more natural light.   |

TOUGH Lincoln to grade.
Obverse was robbed of a great strike by the die break.
Reverse is a high XF or low AU (wear on a couple of kernels).

I'm thinking it's in the VF+ range.

In hand it looks like a die break. Wow, really? It's raised? Just odd because I don't believe I've seen one with that break before. COOL IF IT IS!  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Wow, really? It's raised? Here is a blow up of the neck region. I don't know what would cause the irregularity in the shirt line. For lack of a better description it looks like a geologic fault line. Die break or something else? Doesn't look like a scratch to me.  |

I can't tell using these pictures, the bottom line: If it's a scratch, it will be incuse. If it's a die break, it will be raised across the whole length. The only thing it could be if it's raised is a die crack and that would actually be a rare find.

Unfortunately, this is PMD. I understand why it looked raised at first glance....there has been metal displaced. However, it is damage making this a "details" coin. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

Interesting though to determine what kind of PMD this is. I like the puzzle. Thanks for the input and help, Thad. |

Looks like a planchet issue and not a scratch. Don't think it's a die break either, just a bad planchet. Grade, EF-40.
