I looked at VV with this 1978 Lincoln. Die chip below a 8. I want to say cracked die coming from above that 8 but not sure. Stood out to me especially “WE”. Also crack on reverse. A MAD? Ty!
Looks like a small die chip on the 8. (neat) Are you sure there is a crack kinda looks like a stain to me.
Great Galaxies, you are getting it grasshopper. Well done! (not real sure about the die crack though. Looks too spread out)
Thank you! Well it is strange. I tried to put the area where the copper is lifted to the right of the bottom of building. It starts all around there.
Looks more like lamination than a die crack. The die crack would be raised. If a die crack were that wide it would be very easy to tell if it were raised or not. There is a possibility it could be a defective planchet.
