    Bought this at the LCS today. Looked like a shattered die to me, but the cracks seem to be lower than the surrounding fields as opposed to normal die cracks. Anybody able to help? They seem to travel around the edge as well as almost going all the way around the rim on the reverse. FCD46E6C-FD8F-4389-8850-F529215C4FDC.jpeg

    Looks like a detecting find. It could have been buried for 100 years.

    That's definitely not the look a shattered die produces. That would be raised cracks above the field.

    Here is another post mint damaged cent from my collection just like yours. Not an error..

    That's a damaged cent you have there.
    Not a mint error of any kind.
