2011 Lincoln Shield possible die brake

Dont know if it is a die brake but I figured I would ask the pros. Thanks.

I can not tell by the pictures but a quick way to tell is if it is raised from the surface it is a die break. If it down in the surface it is usually post mint damage. The top one looks like a bag mark to me. That is where it was bumped by another coin.

 

I think it is a bag mark!

Both locations on the coin are raised. No bag marks at least not the spots I am pointing out.

 

If they are raised, then it is the result of a die scratch and not a die break. However, at least that top mark absolutely does not look raised. I cannot tell for the lower mark.

 

It is raised. I will try to post better pictures next week.

 

2011 1 Cent Lincon Shield


Ok so here are the extra pictures I said I would post regarding this 1 cent. Once again I am taking pictures with my iPhone so I do apologize if they are not the best. Thank you and hope I can get some answers to this one.

 

Pictures are actually pretty good for the iphone!

 

Well thank you. So were you able to take a look and if so you have any idea as to this 1 cent

 

Possibly, you should wait or more advanced numismatists to chime in before accepting my answer.:smile

My opinion based on the later pics.

Obverse: die scratches. Reverse: gas bubble.

 

From what I can make out, they are all "bubbles". i.e. plating separations.

 

Awww...you see, the better numismatists chimed in and got a more precise answer than me! :smile

 

Yes plate bubbleing but still a keeper!!!

 

Well, they will be raised on one side. Bag marks (especially heavy ones) will indent the coin some, then raise the other side. It's metal displacement. So if they are a valley with a hill (not technical term, i know), that's PMD.

More pics this time with a combo of Loupe and iPhone lol.
