<p>[QUOTE="JSparrow1220, post: 3216806, member: 97751"]Half of my post didn't go through, it only uploaded the tail end of what I was trying to say.. We live out in the country, so the internet isn't the greatest. My boyfriend purchased a bunch of wheat rolls from an old man in his 70s and we've been looking through them searching for errors and different oddities. This coin without a doubt is an improper alloy mix (may not be able to tell from the photos), but we were both unsure about the crack on Lincoln's head. We find coins like these every now and then, but it's not common (out of 200 rolls). Could you guys provide any examples of other coins that have suffered "Post Mint Damage" of this type if that is what happened to this penny? Professional opinions/pictures only please. We've went through what feels like a million wheats, so anything out of the norm like this quickly stands out. To me, the raised spot looks like a die break. My boyfriend believes that the cracked spot underneath resembles lamination (which we've seen a lot of).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
