NZStamps Valued Member New Zealand 141 Posts	Posted 10/05/2021 8:30 pm I randomly jumped to Lincoln cents found two with noticable cracks. First is a 58 head crack second 83 memorial cracks(unfortuately the cracks dont meet up but closely come together on the steps). Or they could be just solder marks. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/06/2021 12:25 pm But these areas have a lot of these. Not a premium for the coin when they happen often. A lot of the LWC of the 1950's have a lot of issues because the mint used the dies way past normal retirement. Thus a lot of stuff can be seen on certain years. Report this Post to the Staff
