Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75193 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 3:08 pm I found this while going through a huge pile of Wheat pennies. One of the most interesting "Cracked Skulls" I have ever encountered. Man, the U.S. Mint really overworked the dies on this one! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75193 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 3:48 pm Yeah. Circulation wear did a number on this Wheat cent unfortunately. But it is what it is. Getting good pictures of this is a bit challenging. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 5:52 pm Ah, yes. Now I see. I always assume that a crack extends to the perimeter. Obviously it circulated a bit before it was pulled from use. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 6:10 pm Nice find! If it's surrounded by a crack, I agree it's a Retained Die Break, it appears to have vertical metal displacement. If it's not a crack, I'd say it's a Lam. Nice find either way.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75193 Posts	Posted 08/15/2017 9:21 pm Oh yeah CoinMasters. It's surrounded by cracks around it. This post is better than the one with my 2008 LC with a Interior Die Break. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
