Cent with a die break.

Hi all, though I would post a picture of this 1993 Lincoln cent with a die break between the columns on the very far left. I found this cent in circulation a few years ago. Hope you can see the die break ok, still practicing taking pictures with my new camara. Feel free to comment.

Thank you sumorada! You never know what you might find in your change.

Very nice interior die break. It's not a "cud", as a cud, by definition, carries away the rim and at least a little bit of the field.

 

you mean that booger thing?

 

ROFLMAO ... Twiggs, thanks for the laugh!

 

Nice find real nice find

 

Thank you Mike for comments.

Very nice

 

I too have a 93 cent with what seems to be an error? How common are these kinds of errors?

that is some really nice breakage there

 

that is kewl
really nice pics by the way..what are you using? I need to get something that will take good pics like that

 

enthusiast, the cent that you have may be a result of the copper not adhering properly to the zinc core. In other words air bubbles. There's no extra value to those coins.

bq, Art, edduns, thanks for the comments!

sony cybershot t50 id be lost without it!

 

zinc is a pretty weak material . You could probly get the same results by puting a cent on your oven. It starts melting in less than 5 minutes

 

Thanks

 

I agree that it appears to be a severe case of blistered plating.
