A couple bucks. Nice crack!

 

That's a nice crack head Lincoln.

 

WOW. I have a 55 with a crack in the same spot. Ill post it later.

 

1945-1959 a lot Lincoln.
Have the head cracked .

 

why is a cracked head 1c piece worth a couple bucks? Is it an error?

 

Cool retained lamination! :thumb:

Definitely worth a few bucks

 

i always knew lincoln was a crack head J/K

 

I once had a 59 Chevy with a cracked head.

 

Here are a few crackhead lincolns. The 58d and 55 have multiple cracks in a wedge formation.

 

How does this happen ? The copper isnt annealed properly before being struck ?

 

Die cracks :

Hmm. I never thought these would be considered a die crack. They look completely different from my other ones. The first time I saw my 58d, I thought it was a cud because his forehead is raised a bit.

 

I think MS70 had it right, with it being a lamination.

 

You may indeed be right...

 

Thanks everyone, now it's here http://www.cointalk.com/t223585/

 

A cud is a die break on the rim that extends into the field.
