As the title states, I'm back with another loaded coin lol
Here's where I landed on calling all the things.

Obverse:
1) Ridge Ring

2) Die scratches

3) Is that a die chip in between the top portion/curve of the "N"?

4) Die gouge/Die chip (?) to the left of the "R" in trust.

5) The "W" in WE looks odd, I'm going with Die Deterioration for this.

6) By the 1987 date, I am not sure if those two raised lines would be considered die cracks or also die scratches. I'm questioning it as they are thicker than the other die scratches I am seeing and one of them starts from Lincoln's jacket.

Reverse:
1) Is there a Ridge Ring on the reverse of this coin as well? Can Ridge Rings even be on the reverse of coin? It kind of looks like there is one (starting by the "E-D" in United until the "A" in America).

2) More die scratches

3) Die crack from left corner of the memorial to the rim.
Side note on this, I now see why the die crack on my 1982-P penny is pretty unique. It was the first die crack I had ever found so I didn't really understand how unusual the placement is (until now lol).

Die Deterioration on both obverse and reverse--strong Ridge Ring on obverse, hint of same on reverse--nice. Yes on die scratches and the reverse die crack. Unsure about the die chips. Typically, die cracks will be raised and 'solitary'--not several running somewhat close and parallel to each other (like die scratches). Fun coin.

Nice looking coin but no extra value however because of condition and the die crack you may want to keep it. It will only cost you one cent and you will have a nice conversation coin.

@ijn1944 - Thank you for the detailed response. Looks like I'm starting to catch on here lol. Now I just gotta figure out the DDO / DDR stuff *sigh*

@oddguy - It is a keeper for me! It's a great example coin for various errors. It's also still pretty looking

@ErrersandVarietys - Finally! lol
