dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 1:48 pm i know this is not a rare find, or that unusual - actually, but its kind of a "fun find" - for me. there are 4 cie cracks. 1 running from the rim = to the bottom right memorial base. it actually continues across the base to the right side of the second to last column. the nex crack extends from the rim to the left base of the memorial building. then there are two more cracks at the top left corner of the building: one going from the corner of the upper part - all the way to the rim, and the second from the lower part of the building - stoping at the letters. if anyone could help with a grade designation, I would appreciate your input. it is only for marking the holder. thanks.

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 7:29 pm I was studying the coin trying to think of a grade for it when I noticed Lincoln's head. Is that damage or delamination? If that's a hit, it left some peculiar looking damage behind. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 07/28/2015 10:59 pm The die was in pretty bad shape with all those cracks. It's hard to grade it from your pics. You can see it better. To qualify for MS, it must show no sign of wear. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/29/2015 01:21 am It is common to have die cracks on the edges of the building. When they are not there is harder to find. Report this Post to the Staff
dbrablec Pillar of the Community United States 1944 Posts	Posted 07/29/2015 08:47 am thank you for the comments. I'm not sure what you are seeing on lincolns head. in hand, I dont see any damage. i did not have anther "85" handy - but comparing it to an "83" I dont see any differences. if you would be more specific - I will certainly check closer. again - thanks..

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 07/29/2015 6:34 pm I see two parallel lines through Lincoln's head. Since nobody else sees it, I will assume it is just a light and shadow thing that got exaggerated when I enlarged the pic. Report this Post to the Staff
