Gigi2 Valued Member United States 319 Posts	Posted 12/13/2024 8:50 pm I would think that this line along the back of Lincoln's ear was a scratch, but given that it follows the outline of the ear, I'm not sure. What do you think this is? Report this Post to the Staff

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8732 Posts	Posted 12/14/2024 08:24 am Definitely a crack. The 90's were common for cracking in these areas, above and behind the ear. Scroll down to the 90's coins and see the different RIDB's. Your coin came from an earlier die though, did not quite make it to a break.
