    That doesn't look like a die crack to me. Probably some old post-mint damage. Die crack or no though, I don't think there's any premium.

    No premium, small die chip imo

    Yeah, not an expert and the coin is worn. What looks like a die crack to me does run from the rim through the seven at an upwards angle and ends at the one. I was just curious because I didn't see it mentioned

    in the cherrypickers' guide as a variety. Interesting to look at through a loupe though. Thanks again for your time and educated opinions.

    As a general rule in the Lincoln series, die cracks do not add a premium as they are very common.
    Skull cracks alone can really look cool. The exception would be a really oddly placed die crack that would
    bring a nickname to mind or major cracks that would be seen just before die failure.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
