2002 Lincoln Cent Die Crack?
1 1

3 posts in this topic

Hello,

I am looking for opinions on whether this is a die crack on the reverse or not.  The entire line is raised.  It goes straight from one rim to the other - right through little Lincoln's head.  What do you think?

    Welcome to the NGC chat board.

    The depressed area at the center of the raised areas indicates that this is a deep scratch, possibly caused by a nail or similar sharp object. The raised areas are metal displaced by the scratch.  A die crack or break would be raised in its entirety.
