Unlisted facial die break. I've never seen a IDB this extensive on Lincoln's face!

When you see gray, then it is split plating exposing the zinc under the copper plating. Not a plus for the coin. It will eventually all disappear leaving behind a copper colored, Hershey's kiss wrapper. Not a plus for the coin.

Does anyone know of any other of these in circulation?

Probably not many of these out there. I imagine operators and quality control picks up on these very noticeable facial IDB's pretty quickly. The mint surely doesn't want damaged coins like this in circulation representing US coinage.

This one won't be returning to circulation any time soon.

Nice one. Congrats.
Does the crack extend up through the hair and the E (WE) to the rim?

The crack does extend from the bottom of the chin and into the hair but not up through the W and to the rim.

Thank you.
It was hard to see if the crack veered toward the E, W, or T without making it all the way there.
