Jeremy123 Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 1:23 pm I found a long crack around Abes head from the nose around the hair towards the back of the skull. I optimized the images. I can take more if needed however my camera isn't the best. The Lincoln Crown Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 1:38 pm Yeah, that is a pretty decent crack. I haven't seen any like that before. I know how difficult it is to try and get good images of shiny LC's. Report this Post to the Staff
Jeremy123 Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 1:46 pm I will post more later on, trying to trace that crack to the rear of his head. It is tough trying to get close images on these new pennies. Report this Post to the Staff

Jeremy123 Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 3:14 pm It's definitely common since I found about 12 others that are the same within one roll. I will keep the best one and get rid of the others. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 8:04 pm They were all from the same die, that is why they are there. How about the one with the mark on the reverse? Do you find that may of them as well? Report this Post to the Staff
Jeremy123 Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/24/2016 8:40 pm Sorry Coop, that was the wrong photo I posted. That reverse photo was from a post mint scratch since it wasn't raised and it's way too straight. I have it on another thread. Report this Post to the Staff
