Hey All, Coin roll find. I think it is a Die break, kinda of thick. Also on the reverse I think it is a die break or chip, but it makes the G in FG initials appear to have a cross bar and it had me stumped, but that's my only explanation for it as this should not exist right? I also thought in the UNITED as the UNI looked interesting enough to ask you guys if it is anything. No, not drinking (yet) and not tired
I should have said die crack sry and most certainly not brake lol (break). Now I need a dictionary heheheee
The Die brake you are referring too... IMHO is gas bubbles in the zinc plating which are common in 1980s Zincoln's.
here is a coinworld article http://www.coinworld.com/insights/voices/occluded-gas-bubbles-can-be-mistaken-for-die-.html
Yes I am familiar with the gas bubbles, I find those a lot. I didn't know they could make a continuous line as such, I was almost thinking what I recently learned; maybe die scratch. U see anything unique with United or the initials? Oh thank you for replying!!!!
The obverse is a linear plating bubble. As for the reverse, I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary.
Ok so: 1. The die crack is gas Bubbles 2. The United is normal 3. The G in the initials is supposed to have a cross bar Ok I am going to start drinking now Thank you guys!!!!!
A funny note looking up linear gas bubbles there are some being sold on eBay for a buck up to two. So what do they do when it burst and the zinc rots, doh.
a 1985-d has a RDV-004 The G in the initials is supposed to have a cross bar http://varietyvista.com/Lincoln Cent RDV Changes.htm looks like die flow from the strike Not familiar with any 1985 ddr I am no expert this is only my opinion
Um I checked variety vista first ;-) 1985 d from what I saw before and now is not supposed to have a cross bar but now I have been a drinking
Anyways with my luck it would be to GD to be true so I thought it had to be a chip or break, but now after finding out about linear gas bubbles maybe it could be a well placed gas bubble. They did not put the cross bar until 1988 I believe.
the first memorials RDV-001, 003 & 006 all have cross bars this year should not correct... I assume it is more likely die flow or deterioration making it appear to be a cross bar. But I am not a expert... you think it maybe a WDV Wrong Design Variety? Maybe a expert will chime in.
It's just a chip or small plating bubble giving the illusion of a cross-bar. The RDV005 which began in 1986 was also lacking a cross-bar, so there is no possibility of a transitional variety with a cross-bar on the G.
Gd morning! Yes I agree with you guys! Once you guys schooled me on the gas bubbles that is what makes the best sense! Thanks guys and finding out about linear gas bubbles is a GD lesson!!!!!!!
