I think I see a die crack from L in LIBERTY through IN ending between IN and GOD. May be a die gouge above the 9 in the date. Also die gouge SE of WE almost in the shape of a partial A. There also may be signs of late-stage die doubling of words along the edge on obv and rev or maybe I'm seeing things. Report this Post to the Staff

It is a collectible error, though fairly common in the early Lincoln Cents. The remaining items are circulation damage. This coin has done its job in commerce, and picked up some knocks along the way. Report this Post to the Staff
