<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2056844, member: 17665&quot;]Let us not forget early stage die cracks either. These appear as a scratch most times. I see a lot of these on the new shield cent along the top left and right of the shield on these cents. They are not raised as with a regular die crack. And pre die crack impressions which appear to the eye as an indentation. When finding these in B.U. boxes it reminds me to be especially careful to look for the bigger die cracks that result from these, not to mention also that die chips are also sometimes found in die crack areas. It&#039;s easy to overlook a potential die crack in an area of the coin at hard to see angles (such as the left shoulder on the reverse of the 2009P Formative Lincolns) but the die chip can be a sign to look closer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
