I am going through a roll of 1956 Lincoln cents...it seems almost two thirds have a cracked skull/die cracks/die chips...is it worth keeping them all? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19130 Posts	Posted 03/28/2021 2:41 pm I'm a big fan of cracked skulls, so I'm biased. Suggest you keep the best examples. Keep an eye out for die cracks on the reverse as well. If you're inclined to sell on ebay they can fetch from 2-6+ dollars each--on average. Report this Post to the Staff
