Hey everybody, was going threw some pennies that have been sitting around for about 3 years and pulled this 1983 one out after seeing a line from the E to the C. Then scanned it and found what look like 2 more. Just want to know what everyone thinks, should I keep it or throw it in a roll for the bank? Thanks.
They look to be diecracks. I keep the most dramatic ones. They appear to look like the last photo. Just for informational purposes (and not to high-jack the thread): This is one of mine that I think is a gas bubble (that seemed to be the general consensus when I asked about it): This one is a die gouge/scratch: And this one is a series of die cracks:
For me it's hard to tell...because of the scanned pics. If the lines are raised, then cracks, if sunken, scratches...but I'm leaning towards cracks. -LTB
To the OP looks like a die crack by the E and C. Not sure what the others are, but I lean toward die cracks. Ikandiggit - love that die gouge. That is cool.
Thanks for the replies. They are raised but very slight. Maybe I should check my old canadian coins lol, I have loads of those.
