Is this damage or a mint error? Many thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

They are neat to find and that area in particular you'll find a lot with missing some details. Sadly with that small amount of the coin affected it doesn't add any value though.

I think it is because Lincoln has a big head. I mean Lincoln's head is a high relief area causing a weakness strike on the reverse. Sort of like a Cud. Report this Post to the Staff
