1982 lincoln cent zinc cracked die obverse & reverse

Please take a look and confirm this is a cracked die on the obverse and on the reverse, I think there are at least three cracked dies originating from the rim look at the word states the second T, just to the left of the A and from the bottom left side of the letter S.

If these are all die cracks, what is the value of such a coin and would you recommend sending it in for authentication and grading?

Linear plating blisters, not cracks. Very common on zincolns.

 

Zincolns-did you coin that? Love it!

I read the word common and second part of my question is irrelevant. Than you for the feedback!

 

I wish I could lay claim to that word but alas I can't. Not sure how long it's been around, but it has been a thing since I started searching in 2012 haha. Not long by most standards.

At least he didn't ask THAT question lol.

 

What would be THAT question?

 

Inside joke... Something about small and large dates

 

OP, how about a closeup of LIB of Liberty .
Weight of the coin too .
Loooks zinc to me ..

 

It is zinc rick, thats why it has plating blisters. No need to weigh it.

 

I think it's wexler #4 .
That's why I asked for closeups .

Here's the image I used .

 

I see nothing that looks like the Wexler #4.
More false information.

 

Could be .
That's what post #9 about .

Anything else is fake news . Lol ......

 

Rick-if you look at the title of my question the word zinc is in there. I was hoping that by placing the word zinc in the title, you guys would assume that the only way i would definitely put zinc in the title is by weighing the cent and determining it's weight to be 2.5 grams and that only zinc cents should weigh that amount. Should i put more details in the body of my posts going forward? Thanks!

 

Your post was fine.

 

Thanks guys for all the coaching!

 

Rick you still want close-ups? I just saw your post nestled in between the others. Let me know and I'll get to snapping.

 

Also, everyone was focused in on the obverse but nobody commented on the reverse-are those also plating blisters or something else other than die cracks?

 

Rick, I'm going to snap those closeups you asked for because if you look closely at the pictures i already uploaded, i can see that circle just to the right of the R in liberty as it's shown in the reference to wexler's #4. I'll take the same pictures as shown in #4 let me know if you want close ups of other areas of the coin on either side. Thanks again!
