    So I'm going through a bunch of 1910's Lincoln's and came across this. Help please, is this a crack or damage or just something else ? I got the best pictures I could get. Let me know what you think, thanks. DSC08969 (2).JPG

    Looks more like lamination. Cool find.

    It appears to be a lamination error because of an improper mixing of alloys. Having said that, I would keep that if I found it (I keep all errors I find), but you're not going to get any money out of it if you were to try to sell.

    Oh no I'm not going to sell it, I think these are such an oddity and very cool.

    Good question. There is a big difference between a Die Crack and a Lamination Crack. A die Crack is on the Die itself which would cause the appearance of a raised line on the coin. A lamination as the others have stated is when there is a planchet error on the surface of the coin. You have a nice one.

    Here are the examples - (I want to share these webpages with you)

    That's for the links. Good information, I think I now go along the line of lamination crack. Thank you.
