I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I think I have a die error cent but I can't find any examples of it.   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Looks like the cent was attacked by some wire cutters, PMD I moved your post to the appropriate section for the proper attention.   |

PMD. Not a error. Worth 1 cent.

It first glance I thought it was struck by something also or maybe cut into, but upon further examination I noticed that there are raised lines on it consistent with a cracked die, also on the Lincoln memorial there is some of the design missing but no damage at that location, also the edge isn't damaged so I don't think it was snipped with cutters. Could it be a shattered die?

Sorry but it's still PMD. Not a cracked or shattered die. This is what a Shattered Dies actually looks like.  All credit goes to CaptainFwiffo. Original link: http://goccf.com/t/99435. In your case, this is not a Shattered Die. Just PMD, making it worth one cent. Errers and Varietys.

Could very well be a lawnmower mulching blade, but I agree with either side cutters, heavy duty tin snips or what I used to use as a telephen man, was my lineman's scissors. Used to thrill little kids by taking a cent and cutting it in two...with scissors yet!. Used to give halves to people asking them for really what their thoughts were worth due to inflation...

E&V is right again - just some PMD! Who is this "Little Johnnie" I keep reading about? I thought he fell overboard on the boat that was catching crabs on the Discovery channel show? |

I agree that it is PMD.  The "raised lines" are displaced metal from whatever process/implement caused the damage. There are many different tools that would create this effect but, in the end, it's just damage. Keep searching! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
