I came across this one tonight as well. The reverse contains a die crack that extends all the way across the coin. The pictures were hard to get to show the full crack, and I apologize, but it spreads from the rim near T in UNITED, through the T, down into the Lincoln monumnet, across the top of the monument, and out the other side, through the I in AMERICA and to the rim near the I.

Are these cracks categoried somewhere like RPM/OMM or Doubled Dies are? I am always curious about other people finding these things.

There are no listings because there are so many of them. These die cracks are in common areas on the LMC.I don't think the crack runs all across the coin but is only in the upper left and right on the building to the rim.

@John. The pictures don't show it, but by eye I can see what faintly appears to be the crack running across the top of the monument as well. I am hoping to get a USB microscope that would help me see it better, but I was pretty sure it ran across the top.

Happy New Year, everyone :-)
