Found this while sorting today. Never come across a penny like this before. The obverse has a large crack in it starting at the rim and going thru the right shoulder.
The reverse has 2 cracks.First being between the U and N in United and the second being thru the T in Cent
Any info would be helpful. Neat piece!

Hard to tell without seeing it at different angles, but the reverse 'cracks' look like they could have been intentional 'gouges' or scratches.
The obverse 'crack' looks good/legit. But again, hard to tell from a laptop screen.
Some coin guy having a bit of fun? A 'new' specimen for the local coin club???
Does anyone else see what I mean? |
