CRHunting Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/18/2022 1:14 pm Hey Everyone! I got lucky on Friday and I ended up with a very early look at the 2022 D Penny. While I was reviewing a few under the scope today I noticed an odd crack on a few of the pennies all located in the same location. Pictured below is the Penny with the strongest version. Any thoughts of what this could be? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

The setup you are using now, adds glare to your images. Suggestions to improve images (several topics): http://goccf.com/t/414339#3560404 Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8760 Posts	Posted 01/18/2022 3:21 pm Very common area for cracks/chips on shields. You will seen them used as markers on shield DDO / DDR listings. Cool you have already ran across a 2022 coin though. It generally takes me about six months before I see the new year coins. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
CRHunting Valued Member United States 172 Posts	Posted 01/18/2022 3:34 pm Yeah I was really excited to see them so early in the year. I live in Denver though so I have a little bit of an unfair advantage :-). If these types of cracks/chips are commonly used as DDO / DDR markers does that mean it's caused by a specific die, and if so, does that mean it's considered a mint error? I'm curious about the type of error it is and what mechanism is behind the creation of something like this. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8760 Posts	Posted 01/18/2022 3:37 pm I think this is what is described as a "die event", not an error. This is a weak spot in the general design of the shield, similar to the cracks you will see at the corners of the memorial design. No added value. I just picked a random year of DDO / DDR from Wexler's listings. Scroll through them and you will notice several listings that have them as markers.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/18/2022 4:11 pm A great improvement. Still seems there is an unwanted red light source? Try putting your hands around the coin area to see if you have window light, or room light that is still sneaking into the image. That can be blocked easily with even bond paper. (Printer paper) Just need to determine the direction. The unblocked light creates glare. Report this Post to the Staff
