Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 2:48 pm I found this penny a short time ago,and definitely has a die crack that appears to run into the designers initials that are very faint (actually half the height of the crack),but there.I also noticed that it appears there is a lump on the obverse where the crack is on the reverse. You can see it by the shadow above the 0 on the date.Well here it is. Thanks for looking! Any and all advice is greatly appreciated. Have a good one! Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 3:47 pm Does not look like a die crack to me and the FG is covered by what looks like a gas bubble. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 5:04 pm So what's your thoughts on the squiggly line? I was 100% sure it was a die crack,But I'm still a greenhorn! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/06/2016 7:44 pm I think it is the copper platting starting to peel. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Newbie234 Pillar of the Community United States 1386 Posts	Posted 12/07/2016 2:12 pm I went back and cropped the full size photos again,just to hopefully clarify the FG. Most likely it is the coating breaking up. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/07/2016 10:01 pm Kind of looks like something prevented that area to be fully struck. (IE: paper, water, oil, or something else. Not the surface in those areas. Note the color difference. Report this Post to the Staff
