Jessica_1978 New Member United States 34 Posts	Posted 08/04/2025 2:44 pm I would appreciate some information on a 1984 Lincoln Penny NM. Is this a Die Break leading into a Die Crack on the Reverse? It's going from the M in America, through the Lincoln Memorial and continues through the E in Cent. Also, one on the Obverse, at the O in God, behind Lincoln's ear going down his chest. Thanks!
