ERROR COIN?

 

I was going through my cents again and came accross this 1975 D Lincoln. It appears to have 3 cracks in the obverse the most prominent accross the scalp line the second accross the bridge of the nose the third just nearly accross the middle of the chin. They all appear to start at the top right at theouter lip of the coin going down and to the left. The top one almost makes it accross the coin, the other two alittle less so with each one. The reverse does not show any of this, plus there is some crud on it and I don't really want to try and remove it.

 

There isn't any indication of a push through from the reverse side and the top crack has some very minor crud and a definite shiny mark on the most pushed out part of the top crack.

 

Anybody got ideas, I am not a error or cracked die or whatever person, but maybe someone could help. Wish I had better equipment for taking pictures.

Post mint damage. No premium.

Eagles, At first when I was reading I thought die crack but that is not the view I see here. Almost looks like there was at one time a piece of tape on the coin and the crud is on the glue from the tape edge. Definitely not a die crack but damage contributed after circulation.

Looks like laminations to me. I have a few coins with laminations - several Lincolns, a silver Jefferson and a Walking Liberty half. Not worth a premium except maybe on a high-end BU coin.
