no just my steel, laminate work desk, weighs a ton!!

 

I say from the pictures provided it's a proof that's been scratched with a pushpin to look like a crack then given distracting mishandling damage to confuse it some more so someone could rip someone else off.

Worth whatever an impaired proof cent is worth... to me.

No idea at all how anyone could make a determination beyond this without much clearer pictures magnified or having it in hand and magnification also applied.

Could be a die crack, could be a crack in the planchet plating, could be intentional damage as I suggested but I wouldn't have bought it if these were the pictures to determine what's going on here by. It can't be determined by these.

 

Cents from 1952 were not plated..

 

looked at it under 30 x magnification, it is definitely a very deep crack, not a scratch and was not advertised as an error, just this one and a few other older impaired proofs..all the time i find die cracks and other coins with machine doubling listed as regular coins and scoop em up when i can at a decent price, i happen to like it...like i said you guys are beating a dead horse, sorry i even posted this , coin talk stopped being fun for me so done..

 

I'm sorry your sad about coin collecting..
Here is a thread for you - https://www.cointalk.com/threads/theres-no-crying-in-coin-collecting.361047/

 

In my book that's $18.00 too much.

 

not about collecting, or investing or selling, just this site..smh

 

You post calling it an error, we point out that it isn't. You insist several times that it is an error. We point out that it isn't. You keep insisting it is an error. Finally you take a closer look and discover that we were right, and you accuse US of beating a dead horse. I think you now find cointalk no longer fun because you were wrong and your visions of a great error were deflated.

 

no, i still believe it is a cracked planchest as it is connected from one side to the other, via the rim, for it to have 3 die breaks all in the same place so as it to apear connecting are way too many coincidences, and how come nobody has seen one before as such? and the index lists die cracks and breaks as errors, they are listed under errors on listings on ebay and also on usa coinbook...so whatever, i am done, you are beating a dead horse, i respect your opinions but i believe i am right.... show me any other coin where a "die crack" goes from one side to the other witha crack on the rim EXACTLY in between to the two and connecting the cracks, come on now, it is =right there the evidence of a cracked planchet
