Cuzimcute00 Valued Member United States 112 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 12:43 pm I'm starting to get the hang of what to look for. This one is an actual die crack all the way across Lincoln's face. And I think they call it "rainbowing" of the copper. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74455 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 3:42 pm That's a Die Crack, but it's very common on these years, so there's no added premium. Also in "IGWT", that's Die Deterioration Doubling, not a Double Strike. There's no premium for both of these. That's not what a Double Strike is. http://www.error-ref.com/die-deteri...on-doubling/ If you scroll all the way to the bottom, you'll see a doubled struck coin, and it'll explain to you what it is and what causes it. http://www.jimscoins.com/error_coin_examples.php Errers and Varietys.

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 4:26 pm The "crack" has shadows underneath it - especially on the left side - sure that isn't a string/thread that somehow got stuck to the cent after minting? Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 6:28 pm Nice find? Really? Maybe I have too much monitor cause I don't use them Iphones or whatever they are called BUT - when are "die cracks" pink and give off shadows? Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 8:20 pm A soak in acetone will determine if that is a crack or not, it is indeed questionable because of the location. That is a deep impressed area usually unaffected by cracks not originating at field level(weakest points are edge) Edited by Crazyb0 06/30/2018 8:23 pm Report this Post to the Staff
