<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mountain Man, post: 24868225, member: 94733&quot;]Welcome to Coin Talk [USER=151552]@BrianinND[/USER]. Thanks for the post and good photos posted full image. These old eyes appreciated it.</p><p>Not knowing your level of coin collecting knowledge, I don&#039;t wish to confuse you with rather it is a lamination or a crack, as neither increase the value. They are simply anomalies that collectors like to find.</p><p>One could argue that your coin is a lamination error, where the layer of metal on the <i><u>planchet </u></i>begins to separate, as one side of the line seems to be at a different level than the other, which would lead me to believe it is the beginning of a lamination, but it is just as easily argued it is a die crack, as even Cuds on Coins show it matches <a href="http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-spike-heads-1950-1959/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-cent-spike-heads-1950-1959/" rel="nofollow">SKH-1c-1957D-03</a>, but even these sites have errors, in my opinion, so, unless you can provide very clear closeups, or the rest of your cents show the exact same characteristics (which would indicate a die crack), the point is pretty moot, in my humble opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep on looking and posting. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
