Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 6:08 pm That is a nice die crack, but too bad about the rim bruise. Will you save this one?

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 10/08/2020 7:29 pm I agree they stretched the life out of the dies and then some. I keep everything. LOL. I know I'm a bit crazy. I have over 11,000 Lincoln cents plus a lot of other coins in flips and/or cardboard 2x2. All with some kind of error. All written down numbered and separated by decades. Also the ones with minor whatever are in roles. Yep I agree ( crazy ) Report this Post to the Staff

RobO411 Pillar of the Community United States 2404 Posts	Posted 10/09/2020 10:26 am John1. I'm glad you brought that up. I had my doubts about a cracked head. With that large (opening?) looked like a flap. Also you can barely see a fine crack traveling toward top of head. with you about RIDB. Anyone think it's possible both cracked head and RIDB?
