SadiesAngel Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 4:01 pm While looking through some of the links you guys shared these past couple of days for the error coins I came across a die crack that made me think of something I saw the other day with the 1969S I posted. Because of the color of the 1969s it didn't really show in all the pictures, but I noticed a line that went down from his forehead down through his eye. Any opinions if this might be a die crack?

SadiesAngel Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 5:11 pm Thank you. I can maybe try taking another picture black and white see if it's easier to see. The color of this penny is so pretty, but very hard to get a good picture. I'll have to try to get another one later on after work. Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 7:39 pm There are some pictures of die cracks on this page: http://www.lincolncentsonline.com/error.html If the line is raised from the coins surface, it is probably a die crack. If it is incuse, it is most likely a scratch on the coin. The photos are a little blurry for me to tell for sure what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
SadiesAngel Valued Member United States 184 Posts	Posted 08/17/2015 10:46 pm Thank you cwb. I don't know I'm frustrated with this one. I can't make It out with the magnifying glass and the more I try to get close up pictures it doesn't want to work with me on getting a good picture I think I'm going to put this one away for a bit till I get a better magnifying glass to be able to see it better. Thank you though.. Report this Post to the Staff
