triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9352 Posts	Posted 02/29/2008 08:02 am I just received a 1956-1984 Lincoln folder from Gary Burke and as I was checking the coins I noticed a raised ridge behind Abe's head. Is this common? Is it a die crack? There is no sign of it on the reverse. Steve Report this Post to the Staff

The result is a swollen area around the stripe of gunk that now sits inside the coin under the copper. Very common, especially for early zinc cents, like Becky said. Report this Post to the Staff
