    Can someone please educate me on the proper term used to define a particular "error" or condition found on a modern Lincoln Proof that causes the outer copper color coating to look as if it has cracked away from the edge of a letter or number on the Rev or Obv, similar to what you would see if paint or silicone on a house cracked away from the siding at a corner or edge.

    Yes, I thought they might, sorry I was just unsure I could get the condition to show in the photo, but I will give it the old college try

    I think it was called a "clad break" in another thread. I prefer the term "pull away" as it describes the "look" of the effect; however, I'm overruled as many use "pull-away" to describe the same "look" found on some toned coins.

    The "cracks" if you will do not have a shelf like appearance like MD but appear in multiple places on the coin on two different proof 1988 s Lincolns that I have. I hope the photos help 1988 s crack 1.png 1988 s crack 2.png
