it's a die crack.

 

It looks more like lamination or toning to me, but the pics are a little too small for me to be sure.

 

definitly not a Die Crack.. maybe lamination?

 

Hello,& welcome to the forum. In my opinion the issue is post mint damage. I don't see it as a die crack & a lamination error usually has a different look to it .But without the coin in hand it is difficult to say 100%.

 

I'm quite confident that this is a lamination error. Sometimes these are called "lamination cracks". The metal is cracking and lifting up, probably because of impurities in the alloy.

 

Thank you,I mainly collect VAM's though this Lincoln cent caught my eye and I just wanted to know if it was worth keeping so thank you for your comments regards Harry
