[QUOTE="buttercupair, post: 488702, member: 16626"][b]Double Flaws (1983 one cent) Cud & Die Crack[/b] I was looking at some of my old coins and i found a 1983 US cent that I had noted as having a mint error. I looked at it with a 10x lupe just to be sure it wasn't just a mark on the edge, but here is something exciting I found and I was interested if anyone had an idea of the value. First. the coin looks to be EX- or better. it has an extra bit of metal just below lincolns bust about 2mm long and it reaches up to the base of his bust from the edge. I assume this if from a die break. Second, there is a die crack running through his hair almost from where his hair meets his forehead all the way to the "d" in "In God We Trust". Its barely noticable with my lousy eyes, but totally obvious with magnification. [IMG]http://www.cointalk.com/forum/C:\Documents and Settings\scott\Desktop\3040_9_1.jpg[/IMG] Note: the error above his head is less apparant in life than in the photo. Anyone have any idea what this might be worth? Scott[/QUOTE]
