    1999 D Lincoln Penny Die Crack??

    I was looking through a roll of pennies and noticed 2 parallel lines running through the obverse of a 1999 Lincoln Penny. One line runs through his mouth and out of the corner of his lip. Are these die cracks???

    This is not a die crack. It is a linear plating blister where the copper plating has separated from the zinc core.

        Agreed.
        The plating blisters can run in a similar pattern with the underlying planchet striations as seen below.
