Classic Pontiac New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/29/2022 8:42 pm Hi, my name is Greg. I am new to this forum. I have been collecting old U.S. coins since I was a kid from flee markets and finding silver in my pocket change. I recently inherited a collection from my grandfather. I found an 1882 indian head that has a large crack on the front side and what I believe are called Cud marks on the back side. I am not very familiar with error coins. I only have 2 in my current collection that I believe have errors including this coin. Could anyone tell me if this is a cracked die coin and what are the marks on the back side? My apologies for the picture quality. Any information and possible value is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Edited by Classic Pontiac 08/29/2022 8:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Second, I agree with the frog that the linear cut in the surface of this coin is damage rather than a mint error.

RedRaider Pillar of the Community United States 1018 Posts	Posted 08/30/2022 4:40 pm Agreed, its post mint damage ( PMD). You can see the same marks on the reverse in the right area. Its almost as if it were bent along the line just slightly. Report this Post to the Staff
