Jikth New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 7:58 pm Hello everyone. I am very new to this hobby. Found this while going through my jar of lincolns. At first glance I thought it was cracked but after a closer look its a raised line of material above the surface. I am sure that I'm explaining it poorly but I hope you can see it in the pictures. What kind of error is this? Thanks for looking! Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15469 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:04 pm to the CCF. Your coin appears to have a cracked die all the way across the obverse (front) side. I've never seen such an example on a 2015 cent ... therefore withhold my opinion until the true experts weigh in. If I am correct ... this is an outstanding find of a coin where the obverse die was ready to break apart. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Jikth New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:10 pm Thanks for looking! I will try to get some better pics. Again, I am new so excuse my ignorance but it seems like it is extra material on top of the coin. I can run my thumb over it and feel it as a raised line in the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:12 pm Id definitely agree with it being an awesome find-i just cant say definitively from these pics but I hope so Report this Post to the Staff
BlueSolo Pillar of the Community United States 740 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 8:15 pm WOW! I'd love to find that one. Agreed, die crack through the whole obverse. Rim to rim. One of the best examples of a split die I've seen!

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 9:03 pm Looks odd I'm wondering if this was cut Report this Post to the Staff

Jikth New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 9:12 pm Its definitely raised on the coin. I can feel it when I run my thumb across it. Report this Post to the Staff

Slamnbass Pillar of the Community United States 3644 Posts	Posted 03/27/2016 9:17 pm You can get some raised metal from a sharp cut on a coin(from displaced metal)I thought I saw a straight line in the supposed crack in your original pics like a cut that's why I was unsure but I'm still not certain with these pics maybe a better close up of straight above the area Edited by Slamnbass 03/27/2016 9:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
