mountainman 2 Valued Member United States 351 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 1:24 pm I was looking at some wheats under my USB microscope and noticed these on a 1952. I don't think they're scratches but it's too small to tell without magnification. Your thoughts? Edited by mountainman 2 01/07/2017 1:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Tunnioc Pillar of the Community United States 3213 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 2:02 pm Yes die cracks, it's a spiked head. Looks like a match here SKH-1c-1952-02D. http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-1950-1959/ Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 3:39 pm I agree with die cracks and Tunnioc - looks like a good match the COC. Unfortunately, The OP's images won't open to a larger separate windows for me, so when I zoom this page it gets kind of blurry and hard to see the details of he cracks. Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/07/2017 6:01 pm Hi MM, it so a die crack, very overused die and lax quality control at mint. Its not the one Tunnioc mentioned, that crack was closer to 12 o'clock. I like to call them "pinheads"! Report this Post to the Staff
