Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 5:58 pm I can't tell if it's a die crack or if the plating is separating. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 6:16 pm I don't believe I've ever said this before, but your closeup is too close. Definitely looks like a die chip - see the crack extending NW and SW from it? Report this Post to the Staff
ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 6:26 pm Looks like a die chip and a die crack. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 7:42 pm Yes, your close-up is too close. A pic of the whole coin, - both sides, and the affected area with a description would be ideal. Edited by CoinMasters 04/08/2015 7:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 8:24 pm dang lol, never been told that before on here, usually the other way around. I don't have my phone due to my daughter deciding it needed a shower so I used my tripod and camera with my loupe and then it was too large so I has to crop it and this was the only way I could get it to submit, :( I just can't win with this photographing coins Report this Post to the Staff

Yeah, it was kinda fun for me to say that. That's all the context I need - a look at the full surface to see if any other part is suffering from zinc rot, and maybe the head alone (like you did) to see the feature in context. It's ironic and unfortunate to see something like this where it is on Lincoln's head, but it's definitely a nice chunk out of the die. Literally. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 9:36 pm Die crack with a chip on it. They do get larger. No premium for these though. Edited by coop 04/08/2015 9:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

AT214 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 04/08/2015 10:29 pm Thanks coop, I kinda figured, I have yet to find anything that has a premium, the coolest I found was an 1893 in extra fine condition but even that has no premium to my knowledge. Report this Post to the Staff
