It's hard to tell from the pics. Does it run through his head or does each end start at the head? The one in the middle that's a little fatter looks like a plating bubble or die gouge. The others are skinnier and more jagged like a die crack. It looks like a plating issue or big die dent above the D in GOD as well.

It's too hard to tell with current pictures.

The only thing I know for sure is that what is shown in the last new pic (AMERICA) is a scratch, PMD. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

Behind the head, die scratch. Raised areas on fields are probably linear plating bubbles. Coin scratch. All issues with the coin. Looking too hard to find something, but nothing collectible. Move onto the next coin.

I take the pictures as I look so I can go back and see if I missed anything. I use a jewelry microscope that hooks onto my phone's camera. The light inside causes reflection issues sometimes but it works ok. Except when my camera tries to refocus. It actually takes away some of the detail, which is why I post so many pictures, and explain so much. Because it gets blurred out on the picture. I'm really not trying to argue. Like I said before, I'm not trying to "find errors" or even anything valuable. I'm just trying to learn what things are caused from and which ones add a premium, versus which ones don't. Lol. I saw the "spear" as soon as I put my little microscope on there. I know the one under "America" looks like a scratch in the one picture, but if you look at the third from the last picture I posted, it's not. It's something like " Cud", only it runs across the top of the A, caddy corner across the M and E, then under the R, and I. It's not indented it's raised? So how could it be a scratch? And if you look at Licoln's ear, you can see a line running across it also (I pointed it out on the second set of pictures). It runs from behind his head, across his ear, and out the front of his face. I thought that meant it was a crack, or something else? It lost focused when my camera took the picture, but they both actually run across Lincoln's head and out the other side. So, is it a die scratch, or is it something else? There are two straight lines that run parallel across his head like that? I read what to look for, and when I see something that looks like what I read about, I ask. I'm really not trying to bother you guys. Just learn. ;) |

I agree with coop. The big thing that looks like a scratch could be a strike through wire bristle or sting. EV just found a decent one that looked like that I believe around the same year. I say it could be, odds are more likely a scratch or gouge. If it's raised then it's def not a strike through and more than likely a deep gouge that displaced the metal giving it a raised appearance. The rest, like the corners of the letters are prob just small die gouges from polishing and the bristles got caught on the corners of the devices. The rest look like plating bubbles. It happens a lot in these year coins because they ahd just switched over to copper plating. If that does happen to be a strike through I'd be worth saving but like coop said, the rest is just normal issues with this particular year of coins, especially with the heavy die polishing that most of them show.
