John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 09:38 am Looks like a die crack or maybe a lamination. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 09:51 am Yeah I think the die was cracked and a bit of metal flowed into the crack during the strike process My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 10:06 am Thanks guys, that was my first guess as well. It's just so localized I wanted confirmation. I guess maybe the die chipped first and it started cracking similar to say a windshield? Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 2:51 pm Good Photographs! I think I'd lean towards the die chip, rather than a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/22/2015 3:00 pm It's fairly common to have a die crack coming off the tail of the 9 and arc back to the mintmark. This one has a die chip associated with it . Look up the flying D. http://www.lincolncentforum.com/ter...logy-list-f/ Edited by stoneman227 07/22/2015 3:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
