flyagi Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 09/18/2008 3:49 pm As I am learning...Could you please give your opinion on these Lincoln die cracks . I have some smaller ones but these are the best 4 coins that I could find. I had to take 3 pics of each to show all the crack (exept last one) Any different reason for the straight crack on the 1996, or just cracked? I took pics freehand so a little blurry but you can see pretty good . Thanks for any help. Report this Post to the Staff

What you have on the 1996 cent is not a crack, which is why it is straight - that's a die gouge, probably caused by some sort of tool on the die. It's a bit worn which tells it was probably on the die very early in its life, and has worn through die use. Report this Post to the Staff
wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 09/18/2008 4:11 pm Die cracks are fairly common, out of about $25 worth of rolls, I usually find at least 40-50. No real value unless the crack is extreme, and than only some actually collect them. Report this Post to the Staff
