    Went through 5 of the Lincoln cent rolls (I'll leave 5 for tomorrow). Found 3 die cracks and a funky date 1984 within a raised area of the coin. Plus found a 1986-D dime (no pics) so I at least made 9 cents today - LOL!!
    First pic is the Obverse with 2nd pic of the die crack (Most die cracks I find are on the obverse and I "Don't know why!"

    This is the 84, has a slightly raised area on the coin's field outlined in Purple and the "84" that is in the raised area seems to have some kind of doubling, there is a raised "line/bar" going through the opening of the bottom of the 8. Any guesses? Now I could use some info from @Insider!! I posted 2 pics - I think second one is a little better.

    I can give you an answer also! :shifty:
    Looks like Die Deterioration.. common on Cents struck in the 80's

    Well, still got 5 rolls to go. Last time I got 10 cent rolls it was down to the last one 1/2 way through and
    actually found a 52-S.

    Well defined, good looking die cracks. I'm thinking some type of plating issue with that 84. Yes, last coin of the last roll is when I usually find something.

    I'm also going to go with die deterioration for now although I've yet to see one that looks like the solid raised parts of the numbers (diagonal of the "4") are full and SPLIT! If you look inside the split and you see the copper cladding is broken, then you probably have just a very neat coin rather than some sort of error.
