Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 6:22 pm Looks like a small lamination. The red color is not evidence of mint bloom but rather some sort of environmental exposure. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96894 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 6:43 pm yep, Frog has this one in the bag - a small lamination. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 7:12 pm Looks more like a die crack if it is on the top of the head. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 8:41 pm Well the first thing that came to my mind was a small lamination ,then a cracked scull die crack was considered . Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19186 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 9:12 pm I'm leaning toward the die crack assessment. Would like to see the coin in-hand (but that ain't happening). Report this Post to the Staff

Kstack81 New Member United States 42 Posts	Posted 06/25/2022 10:59 pm It's curious, just looking at the penny in hand, it just looks red. I don't even see any discoloration like the photo shows. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 01:07 am I'm on team die crack for this one based on the location. Either way though it is a neat find.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 03:37 am I was on the fence on this one, leaning towards a lam, but the more I look at it, I see why a crack was mentioned and am now convinced (90% sure) it's a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 08:01 am Die crack, not a lamination. These are called "cracked skulls" and were fairly common on late wheat cents. Report this Post to the Staff

I was on the fence as well but think I fell on the other side from you. LOL Large die cracks and retained interior die breaks are very common in this area in the 1950's. While the interior of the area doesn't look like a lamination, this spot seems to be recessed when looking at the lighting and shadows. Maybe the OP can enlighten us as to whether the area is recessed or raised? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
