Very sad. He had vast amounts of knowledge and was always willing to share that. He will be missed.

So I saw this on FaceBook this morning. Very sad. Mr. Lange answered one of my questions here and schooled me on Ejection Striations. He seemed to be a very member in these Forums and will surely be sorely missed. My thoughts go out to all his family and friends. This is a great loss to the Numismatic world as a whole. Rest In Peace Sir.

@J P MI just can't call it anything less than Shattered. I may be a stubborn little girl, but this is a special Coin. I have made 1st Contact with error-ref and hopefully they will let me send some photos since the guy at CUDS on Coins isn't working right now. I mean heck, this Coin has their listings for 01R thru 06R all on one Coin and they have nothing with the ones on the Obverse. Idk? I'll get it figured out somehow and have a name for it by weeks end. Regardless it sure is a coolio Coin. Lol! 

That's the last one. Thanks for looking. -Karen

Hi guys. Thought I'd share a Lincoln Cent Struck with a Shattered Hammer Die for you all to gaze upon. Lol! I found it about an hour ago while searching a batch of early 80's from my Neighbor Lady. Enjoy... 

Nice find and nice photography, not much left holding that die together.

Wow good find, lots of cracks on that one.

Looks like both dies had seen their better days. Nice find.
It is interesting that, even though there is evidence of die erosion, the outside lettering is not drawn toward the rim, as is often seen on other coins.

When I first joined this forum I like to never figured out how to get a picture to show up. Im not very good with technology anyways. Always said my pictures were to many megabites or whatever you call em. I ended up having to download a photo compressor to get them to size. 

Well thanks Guys. I agree, having seen these photos that's very likely my answer. I can't believe this is my 1st time seeing one like this. Kind of looks like a Zincoln with bubbles. 
Until next time then... 

Hey Smellows! Happy Holidays to you all. 
A girl in one of my Groups asked about this Coin. Since it's a newbie Group and somehow dude talked me into being an Admin, I feel like it's my responsibility to help everyone as much as I can even though I know nothing. So I said I'd figure it out. The only thoughts I've been given is that it's been 'Whizzed'. My search for a definition and photo evidence has brought me back here, to my Alma Mater, if I may. Thing is that while the verbal description dows seem to match what I see in this Lincoln, the pictures presented look nothing like this one. Can you guys put any if your knowledge onto my head about it please? And also provide me with either a link to the site for photos or even your own photographic proof of what it is?Thank you.- Karen

Looks like some sort of chemical bath to me also. Definitely not a whiz job. 

A coin left too long in an ultrasonic cleaner can have a similar look as well. If the weight is good, I'd lean towards that as the explanation.

Doesn't look like a whizzed coin which has been discussed here a few times recently, and there was also a Coin Week article about whizzed coins to give you an idea what that looks like [with a "whizzed" Indian Head Cent example from that article attached] ...

It "could" be an acid dipped coin.  Back in the 50's and 60's, kids in science class would dip copper penny's in Hydrochloric acid, reducing the cent down until it was the size of a dime.  The kids would us the dime size cents in soda machines and other candy and coin machines.
