My goal was to remove any that had evidence of die deterioration, split-plating, wear or damage. I found 15 that met this criteria. Another 60 were borderline with die cracks on the forehead and hair as well as on the shield on the reverse above PLU/PLURIBUS. That left only 25 coins that had relatively no mistakes. I only kept these because they were the first cent (and only, so far) to be minted with a “P” mint mark.

YOUR COIN appears to be a plating issue, and I see the die crack on the forehead.[/QUOTE]
