Looks like die chips.

 

I agree... normal product of die use and wear.

If I am seeing right, you even missed a die crack on the shoulder.

 

Yeeep. Look between the eye and the ear also. Seem like die crack.

 

My SMOKER LINCOLN. also shows THE APPLE'S ADAMS. But seem like it's coming from the Path of traveling inside of the Die.

 

That looks to be a linear plating bubble.

 

I pressed enough that "bubble" all ready; but there's no air enough to create a little explosion. My next step will be THE ROCKWELL TEST to see how much pressure support. I will do the same with other pennies of the same year. over the # 1 or the I.

 

It's a linear plating bubble (on the 1992 that is).

 

NO QUESTIONS ABOUT. thank a lot for your comment. Yep It's the BIE ERROR.
I just learned that.
With a Scale Lupe. also I checked The length and wide of the cigar on the 1992 Smoker Lincoln. The results are 0.050" and 0.010" Most of the normal cents are 0.045" to 0.055" (Not all of them have the same length), and 0.010" wider.
But absolutely, THE ROCKWELL TEST will be the best.

 

What's the Rockwell test? Where you check to see if it looks like Lincoln was painted by Norman Rockwell????


(sorry, couldn't resist)

 

Good luck. I know nothing else to say. Goodness, these threads are great!

 

The Rockwell Test. Prove the Hardness and Tensile Strength of each material. SURE I'LL DO FIRST WITH OTHER CENTS. To set up a standard answer. With pressure enough but gradually controlled ANY BUBBLE will show a weak result.
The 1956 is a BIE ERROR any way. Thank again for your help.

 

Ok, so you are going to intentionally pit coins (see how strong the coin metal is by seeing how much force is needed to make a pit or indentation in it) to determine what strength it takes to do that on various coins, and then once you get those results, you will do it with this coin.

 

I started all ready. IT'S FUN. With 4 - 1972 and 3 - 1971 Eisenhower dollar's The lower penetration was C 46 in a 1971 and the higher penetration was C 59.5 in a 1972 both with the same amount of pressure. and exactly in the same area (spot).

 

Actually, its the rare Abe Eating Mike n Ikes variety. I thought it was the misplaced 1 variety, but Abe does look a bit peckish.


I was gonna put a disclaimer on this comment, but it would take the fun out of it.

 

IT'S NOT. When the planchets arrive to the Die. They are all ready Plated. The Linear motion in this 1992, is related with the Strike of the coin itself; normally at 55 Deg or 35 Deg. what ever sound better for you.

 

My standard answer is all ready. 10.5 C (penetration) with a pressure of 1 complete turn. Done in a WILSON Rockwell tester. It's the same, touching the #1 and also on flat areas. All of them had the same answer.

 

I'd like to say 'now I've seen everything'. But if I have to judge from the times I've either said that or thought to say that, I'd be wrong. I think there will be plenty more opportunities to come across a situation where that saying comes to mind.
