Good evening everybody! I found this Lincoln Cent few days ago during my CRH, it take my attention because it seems to has die crack but the way that it is, is a little different from other die crack, can you please help me to confirm if this is normal die crack or another thing?

I attached 5 images 1 obverse 1 reverse and 3 from a different angle. Thank you!

Peripheral Die Damage? Not definite. Just a guess. https://www.error-ref.com/peripheral-die-damage/

Yes @jfeed as you say it has Rim Fin, but here is another imagen so you can see what I'm seeing.

I believe @E&V is right! Thank you @Errers

Yes @jfeed, I received last week but I think I have to return because the remote control is broken, but I love this microscope! Thank you so much for helping me to make a choice on this microscope!

Thank you @ijn1944! Yes I love it!! I got very good pictures using my camera, but this microscope makes it easier and faster for me to take the photos.

Using the camera takes me long because I have tu play with the light.

very nice images! congrats on a nice scope!!
and on to your coin now,
I see a nice Rim Fin at the edge, but the other thing inside the rim is something new to me - it does not look like Peripheral Die Damage though - it is too perfect with a nice sharp edge..

Thank you @Dear I'm happy happy with it

Yes I was reading the information and looking at the images of the Peripheral Die Damage, and I see is different than what I have, you are right describing what my coin has.

My apologies, English is not my primary language, and is not that good either, thats why sometimes I can't explain what I see on my coins, or what I want to say properly.

Thank you makecents!

I believe is not die dent, it may seem like it is but it is not, it is different. I don't know how to explain it, but it's like when you go up a step. It is higher than the surface of the coin and at the end it looks like a very weak die crack
