<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 589872, member: 1242&quot;]It definitely is not a Die Crack or IMO, a Die Scratch! As mentioned earlier, it could be a result of a gas bubble or other but appears to be caused by a problem with the Copper plating adhering to the Zinc core. The longer line also runs all the way through the shoulder of Lincoln&#039;s coat and besides the smaller line, there appears to be some sort of scoring (abrasion) Southwest of the lines and to a lesser extent to the Northeast of the lines. My best guess is that the Zinc planchet was damaged and/or contaminated before the Copper plating was applied.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
