So this is my first post since joining the group. Was sorting tonight and came across what initially appeared to be a large die crack but then I became confused because the RT was still struck over it. It almost appears that it’s a bad planchet all the way across and you can see evidence of it darkened across Lincoln’s head and at each end on the rim. Can the team here help educate me on this? Bring my first post I really hope it’s not a dumb question, but I have seen 48-S die cracks and and read about the BIE cracks and this didn’t seems to match up with either.

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
