This die crack looks like it is a long a clash in the shape of Lincoln‘s forehead , nose, chin and bust. Does anyone else think so?

That is a strange set of cracks... Does the one thru the M of UNUM go to the rim up thru the O in OF??? I would think this would classify as an UDC??? http://cuds-on-coins.com/unusual-die-cracks/

[Sheila ruley]

Yes, it does go through to the rim.

Very cool!! I was going to suggest the same thing as Jim! You need to send this to JC. Did you do the toothpick test on the area that looks like a clash? Very nice find Sheila!!

Am I seeing things again or does it exit through the rim below the C of CENT?

[Sheila ruley]

I cannot see where it goes through The letter C. And, the toothpick test does not cave it in.

Those are a couple of really nice and long die cracks! I am not seeing the shape of the forehead, nose, chin and bust though.

The first sideways picture kind of looks like a nose shape.

I seen some of your listings on cuds on coins. Very nice!

Okay now I see where the die crack does resemble Lincoln's nose! Thank you! It's hard to tell about those two marks that could be a die clash. To me they look more like a gas bubble and sometimes those don't deflate. It could be some kind of die damage too, but they don't seem to match up to anything that would be a die clash in those areas. I also think these long die cracks are interesting enough to email to JC to see what he thinks about an unusual die crack listing! Please let us know what you find out from JC!
