Error Die Clash/Break | 1952 die break error found while searching rolls today.

[retiredcopper]

Found this one while searching rolls from the bank. I believe it is a die break error but I will let the experts here let me know. Did not see a match on cuds on coins.
Thanks

Very nice wheat find retiredcopper with lots going on! I'm no expert but I love looking at finds like this! Looks like a chip on the left wheat stalk and a die crack on the right! But on the obverse, you have a whole lot of something going on! I'm wondering if you have a lam and the circular portion is die cracks. I can't tell if that circular portion connects all the way around.

That's my problem. I'm a novice with regards to errors but I am sure that the experts here will chime in with the answers. Never found a penny with so much going on. Thank you so much for taking a look and giving me an idea what I have.

I think this is all Die break.
If I remember correctly 1955 had quite a few circular ones as well in the same area.

Cool looking... Pics blur a little to much to tell for sure on the obv... There is some good shifting along GOD and to a lesser degree on WE... I am not positive it is from a crack or die break... The lamination on the head looks shifted toward the rim and I am wondering if the lamination is deeper than it appears to be, runs subsurface to the rim and has slid mostly in a NNW direction giving the appearance of cracks... Much like what an earthquake does when the areas on each side of the fault line push into each other... A nice chip on the west stalk... On your east stalk - Does that crack run thru the ICA or is that a lamination???

The crack runs through CA, the entire wheat stalk and to the rim. I posted another picture of the obverse but I'm afraid it's not much better. Sorry.

That's ok... Still an awesome looking coin... I have never seen any thing like it!!!


Added - Maybe a PM to Mike Diamond, to come have a look, would be in order... He should have a better idea on what this is!!!

I'm very familiar with this particular die error. It's a variation on the "cracked skull" theme. Here part of the die face sank in a little, with associated cracking along its margins.
