allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 5:41 pm Here is my favorite Lincoln Cent for Die Cracks, A 1983 P. This coin has 7 Die Cracks on the reverse starting at the left of the Memorial roof. Two Die Cracks to the letters T & E of United. Going next to the left foundation, there are two very light lines (counted as one Die Crack) going to the rim. Next there is a strong Die Crack from the rim to the O of One. Continue to the N & E of One and the C of Cent going to the rim is another strong Die Crack. Continue to the right foundation is another strong Die Crack to the rim. The last Die Crack is a light one from the right roof to the I in America across to the rim. As usual nothing to see on the obverse. The two prutrusions by the T in Cent are Zinc bubbles not Die Chips, I have included pics of all for your inspection, tough to see so I lighted them to see them. Let me know your thoughts and regards! Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 7:40 pm Agree, die cracks like these are quite common. Report this Post to the Staff
allcoinsaregood Pillar of the Community United States 808 Posts	Posted 07/17/2023 8:22 pm How many coins have 7 die cracks. Not many! The 1983 has a lot more die cracks than any other year I have seen. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 07/18/2023 03:46 am I think the coin is showing remnants of Clashed Dies. The line that runs out of the top of the Memorial on the left where the roof joins looks like a clash from Lincoln's back, but slightly misaligned to the West. That could also account for the heavy die polish marks. Click on the picture for a larger image ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Edited by Yokozuna 07/18/2023 03:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
