sharons25 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 09/14/2019 04:39 am I have a 1983 Lincoln Cent with reverse errors in the memorial columns (split) and lamination errors, it also has what looks like metal wire from the lamination to each corner from the memorial steps. Can you help me to determine what this is? Thank you Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: what looks like metal wire from the lamination to each corner from the memorial steps Those are die cracks,common. The coin is a spender.Keep looking though,there is some cool stuff out there to find. Good luck to you. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

These are areas of high stress, and produce a similar pattern as the cracked tar around this metal plate: "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
