I found this penny crh, and I'm not sure what it is. Based off of seeing what a die crack is on youtube and other platforms I'm pretty sure there is one on the left side of the coin, cutting through L's shoulder and it fades off a bit, but still goes up to the top through the 'G' in God. The copper where the O should be in God seems to be caved in a bit, and seems to be scooted over under where it ought to be, resting on L's head. Anyone able to help figure out what I found, and possibly put a guesstimate price on it? Thanks! *** Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. Titles are Important! *** |

Not a Die Crack. That's actually a Peeled Lamination. Great find.
Errers and Varietys.

It is as spruett001 mentioned. It is not a die crack, but the lamination that continues across the whole coin. It has not peeled on the bust part yet. Just by the 'O' in GOD.

I am curious about the marks on the east side of the coin. Can you get a close-up of that? Ha, I totally overlooked that. I'm curious now, too.  In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I don't think its much. Just dents or something, but then again, I'm fairly new to coin collecting and all the types of errors and such.  |

Looks like it may be another lamination flaw. The line on the left side of it is parallel to the other flaw. Many times, a coin with an obvious lam will have other minor areas showing the same defect and often, they run in parallel lines.
