Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 08/18/2018 8:44 pm @loquixx, we see these so-called "cracked skull" cents with some frequency here on CCF. Also, sometimes the dies cracks extend beyond Abe's hairline and then you have a "spike head" cent as well. I'd take a closer look between the letters D and W as this may be what you have with your coin.
