I'm not so sure this is just a plating issue. As stated above zincolns don't have laminations. I don't know if they can have cracks. Almost looks like it's a crack going down into the surface a ways.

Deeper than the plating. Plating's only thousands of an inch.

Almost looks like it's a crack going down into the surface a ways. There is defiantly a crack in the planchet that goes beyond the plating. It runs about 1/5 of the thickness of the coin down the side next to LIBERTY. the area going across Lincols face and neck appears to be raised above the impression.

Calling Silvio.. I was hoping he would respond to this. If anybody would know if zinc can have cracks, he will.

I intended to add this image of the reverse to the original post. No sign of the crack or what ever it is. The dark spots on the reverse in this image are some sort of black smootz.
