Just finished going through my last roll in this penny box and came across what looks like a small crack on the reverse. What do you guys think? Is it worth keeping
It's your "collection" so keep what you like. However years down the road (if you stay with the hobby) you'll probably giggle and laugh for keeping a coin worth face value. So it might bring back priceless memories.
Looks like a die gouge, it goes under the U and carries on, which would not correlate with a die crack or a hit to the coin. I have seen MANY of these in the EPU area over the years. You can keep it and may be a good idea for you to compare to future finds, so you can refer to what Greasy Fingers stated. Good eye though.
Correction to what I said, E&V is probably right, EPU is recessed, insuce on the coin, so probably a hit.
