Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 10:34 pm I found this in a circulated bankroll from a bank box of U.S. Pennies. You can see the Die Cracks on his skull (Cracked Skull) and it has form a Retained Interior Die Break on his head. This coin is in excellent shape. I think this one is Uncirculated to Brilliant Uncirculated condition. What do you guys think on the grade of this coin? Errers and Varietys.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 05/19/2018 11:26 pm Thank you Jim! It was a nice little surprise. I know this is common on Wheat Cents, but it's still cool and collectable to some. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
da Swampster Valued Member United States 420 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 02:45 am Very nice Cracked Skull find, E&V..! As far as MS unc grading goes though, unless the lighting is playing shadow tricks it's an RB to me; MS-64 to (+) obv, MS-65 to (+) rev.. Swamp Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 02:53 am Thank you da swampster! It's a very nice coin with a high grade. I think MS-64 to MS-65 sounds about right. This is what the coin actually looks like in hand. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 03:11 am I think BU MS64. The toning is light enough not to hide any tiny scratches, I can't see any. Some carbon (sulfide-oxide) spots. Needs to be in airtight to prevent darkening. Deep toning or dark patination can hide tiny scratches. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74584 Posts	Posted 05/20/2018 1:22 pm Thank you Dorado, uruman, harley1960, and T-BOP! I absolutely love collecting these as they're very fun to find. It's also a "Poor Man's Doubled Die", which is just actually caused by Die Deterioration Doubling from a very worn die. I love the condition of my Wheat cent! Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
