It is a 1993 P Lincoln Cent and the bottom left of the memorial seems to have a small die crack coming from it. The more noticeable one is the top right coming from America and Pluribus. I have 3 photos of it and hopefully, they are clear enough. It looks almost like the one at the top are two separate ones that cross like an X it looks like it is going through the E to the edge of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Also, Die Cracks have irregular patterns like lightning bolts whereas the bubbles are straight lines. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."
