Titles are Important! * I bought a lump of old U.S. coinage from a friend who had inherited it from her mother. This was in there. Die break? There is a hairline crack visible on the obverse from the rim at the right side of the date extending across Lincoln's torso to the rim on the opposite side.

DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 04/04/2018 9:11 pm moxking has it right. It is most noticeable above the date. Lamination usually follows a straight line but can have irregular shapes. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 04/04/2018 9:22 pm @boris, based on these pics, it looks most like a lam to me--starts over the date and then perhaps progresses onto Abe at about the level of his bowtie. It is unclear to me if there is damage to the right of the date. Here is a bit of a close-up of one of your pics: "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
