Are these Die Cracks?

Found this 1982 D penny that has one going through the bottom on the right side of the Lincoln Memorial and one coming down at the bottom of the D and into the top of the Memorial. Also there is a weird thing going on on the pillars of the Lincoln Memorial. Could this be the rare small date 1982 D penny? ..... Really excited about this one

Yes to die cracks, nice find. Mint mark looks repunched as well. No idea on small date.

 

@furryfrog02 Any Idea

 

If the metal is raised, yes.

 

With those pictures...I have plenty of ideas.

 

What about the pillars?

 

The first 3 appear to be die cracks.

You might want to do a little more research on the 82-D. There are lots and lots of CT posts showing the differences between large dates and small dates A quick search might help

 

It's a large date, no to an RPM, and the die cracks just mean that it was a stressed die.
Many lincolns, have die cracks.

 

no I don't think that it is RPM either.

 

How much is it worth?

 

The mintmark anomaly strikes me as more likely being a plating issue.

 

Face.

 

how could it be face if its a plating issue and has die cracks?

 

What would make a plating issue valuable?

Die cracks are cool and tell the story of a dies life, but what makes you think that they should hold a premium?

 

because they are still errors, but I guess not, sorry.

 

Those are definitely die cracks but as said above, they don't make the coin more valuable than 1c. You might be able to find someone willing to pay more for it but anybody knowledgeable would very likely pass on it.

 

I really don't consider a plating issue or a die crack to be an error. They are more a problem with a deteriorating die, than anything else.

 

Well this is my first good coin found CRH so still a keeper to me

 

Definitely a keeper, also a reference coin to help further your collection.
