These people have had this coin in their hands, looked at it under magnification, and agree that there is no damage from circulation except for a ding halfway up the straight bar which is easily visible even from our poor quality picture. The explanation that was given to us is that the coins struck before this one were showing a die crack on the zero. This coin was struck after the die crack turned into a die break, with the chip remaining in the die, but slid to the lower right of the zero. Coins struck after the chip fell out would show a cud covering from the crack to the lower right of the zero.This is one of the very few out of the 610 million Lincoln cents struck in Philadelphia for this year. We&#039;re now looking for a 1980 Philadelphia Lincoln cent with a cud in this location which will verify this explanation. I&#039;m attaching a sketch to illustrate this explanation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
