SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 7:22 pm I just found a very interesting 2005 Lincoln Cent with a significant die chip that takes up the top 1/3 of the first bay, but, more interestingly, it also has a significant die crack where you can actually see the coin on one side is struck at a different height than on the other (most visible on the "C" in "CENT") is there a word for this phenomenon?

Maybe not so visible in the picture, but that whole side of the coin is slightly elevated from the cracked half of the die beginning to detach. Report this Post to the Staff
