    Greetings ladies and germs cruising through bankrolls was looking at the 74 because it was nice and shiny nothing too much going on the obverse but check out what I believe is a die crack because it is elevated. It runs north to south starting at The rim through the e in America and shoots down to the Monticello. To me it looks like a lightning strike lol. I know the obverse is a little blurry that's not what I wanted to show but I will take a better pic of the obverse so what do you professional think ? Oh by the way what is on top of the Monticello cleaning lady lol IMG_20211003_012036220_HDR~4.jpg IMG_20211003_012036220_HDR~3.jpg IMG_20211003_015819598_HDR~2.jpg IMG_20211003_015819598_HDR~2.jpg IMG_20211003_012036220_HDR~3.jpg IMG_20211003_012036220_HDR~4.jpg IMG_20211003_012036220_HDR~3.jpg

    1) It's the Lincoln Memorial. NOT Monticello :)
    2) Die cracks are running from the bottom corners of the memorial and on the top of the memorial through the "E".
    3) The thing on the roof looks like it could be a small lamination.

    You know I just got back on here after a little while of silence I had a touch of the covid I'm feeling fine and to answer this question I believe I screwed it up took the wrong pics of the reverse I'm going to have to watch that but now my glasses next time when I'm posting pics thanks for pointing that out

    First it’s the Lincoln Memorial, not Monticello. Second, there’s no cleaning lady, just Lincoln. That’s a nice die crack. And forth, ladies and germs?

    Forth is left and right corners of the bottom platform (approach to steps, if you will) of the Memorial.
    BTW, there is a fifth...just to keep things going.

    Those cracks seem to be a very common location for the memorial cent. Weak point on the die.
