Dual Mis-Aligned Strike?

    I found what I believe is a dual mis-aligned die strike on this 1989 penny. I also see what look like several die cracks on reverse. Would appreciate thoughts and how to look up value. Not expecting much value, but more a curiosity thing to help with learning.

    Not dual misaligned strike.
    That's a worn die issue, die deterioration IMHO.
    No premium for that.

    The reverse has heavy die polishing, not die cracks.

    Those "die cracks" on the reverse look like HEAVY die "polishing" lines, almost to the point of being damage (to the dies) perhaps. Probably several million coins produced with these, but I really don't follow the series (zinc planchet Lincolns).

    Actually, it is a "dual miss" & an aligned strike!...:smuggrin: Also, particularly noticeable on the reverse, the copper atoms are down to about one layer thick & that zinc is just itching to come out! :joyful::p
