1917 Error Penny Major Die Crack - Lincoln Penny Error 1917 Big Die Crack

This listing is for the 1917 Error Penny Major Die Crack. A die crack happens when the steel mold used to strike coins begins to fail under extreme stress. Because the dies are hardened to be incredibly durable, they can become brittle and fracture after striking thousands of coins. These fractures often start at high-stress points, such as where the portrait meets the flat field of the coin. This specific coin features a die crack on the obverse towards the right of Lincoln's face and entering the border. Great Find!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!!
