The ones on the back go from one side to the other. And I hadn't seen so many on one coin. Is this a common thing? I won't post all the pics. But if you want to see more just let me know. :) Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/23/2022 7:32 pm @arm, yes those are die cracks and yes pretty common, although this cent has maybe more than typical. They form at sharp corners in the design due to the stress being higher there.

armywife111701 Valued Member United States 194 Posts	Posted 10/23/2022 8:05 pm Ok. Thanks guys. Including the photos I didnt post, I count 7 in total. 4 on back and 3 on the front. :) Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8724 Posts	Posted 10/23/2022 8:15 pm Very cool find! It's a little unusual to find more than three on the reverse, in my opinion, so would consider this a little more unusual than most. Here is one I found with five on the reverse and four on the obverse and an unlisted spike head too. Keep up the search, you are doing well! -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/24/2022 05:43 am Yes, on your CENT these are die cracks. These are fairly common areas on CENTS to develop die cracks. Report this Post to the Staff
