    I pulled this out of a box of cents this morning. I was happy just pulling out a nice red copper cent. I was even happier when I saw the clash. Just thought I'd share.

    I always like when you can see the "Y" in the Memorial bays for some reason :)

    PLUS a reverse die crack! Nice find. I have one also very similar but not so pronounced, yours stands right out.

    Where are you seeing the reverse die crack?

    That was probably a blazer that stood out when you poured out the roll. Awesome! In that condition, I'd say $10+, but I don't know much about this stuff.

    I think @tommyc03 means off the top of the N (on the ONE) to the bottom of the steps on the left. Did you take the picture? Can you take another picture, straight down on both sides of the coin. Not at an angle.

    That part you are talking about is the clash of Lincoln's head. You can also see part of it above the memorial on the left side as well as the "Y" in the bays of the memorial.
    I did take the picture but I had a hell of a time taking the picture since the coin was so shiny. I had to take it at an angle in order to show the clash on the reverse :)

    Over the N in Cent or this a photo distortion?

    Thanks for that clarification. I did not enlarge to see it clearer.
