Jblau190 Valued Member United States 78 Posts	Posted 10/08/2023 8:33 pm Noticed this marking completely across the obverse of 1972 penny center of Northernmost rim (near 12oclock) running S/E to rim at about 4oclock passing through the 9 and the 7 of the date. From my novice opinion, it appears to be a die crack but I figured I'd run it by the experts and more knowledgeable people here as always to get an accurate answer and or sources to explain what I'm looking at. Thanks in advance as always guys! * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Please put as much info in the title as you can, they are very important. * Report this Post to the Staff
