1983 crack + double

[tttwism]

I found this cent while CRH, on the left side of the building, there is a die crack that makes it look like an extra pillar that is leaning, also, look at the right side of the building, double or triple die... the cent on the right is the exact same year, both have no mint mark. The cent on the right has lots of warts or something, but comparatively the coin on the left has HUGE errors.

trying to upload pics, but it says undefined on only these 2 pics...

I don't think there is anything dramatic enough to be worth anything. Keep it if you like....maybe in 50 years it will have some value.

You musta been on crack when you made this thread cause I dont see significant evidence for the experienced eye (even if it WAS a true 83' crack) to differentiate between mint damage and PMD. I dont even see the crack you are talking about.

Sorry 50cent, I am new to this whole thing, but really, why undermine someone that is trying? If you continue to bash me, there will be problems. As for the crack, there is extra material between the second and third pillar, and the third and fourth pillar. If a build up of this magnitude is not a crack in the die, I dont know what it is, or what else would be. Again, if anyone can give me good information on it I would be gratfull. Thanks

I was trying to make you laugh, I wasn't trying to bash you. My apologies in this case, you must admit it was kinda funny

This is caused by a deteriorating die in which the metal begins to flow out of the design element creating a doubling effect. There is a real extra column double die reverse but yours is not it as it happened on the 1994 cents, link below.....

It was kinda funny 50, but because I am new here, I don't know who is serious and who isn't. Thanks for the info, but now I have another question pertaining to this coin, I have 2 others, almost just like it, but when you look at all 3 together, it looks like they are consecutive, as one is a weak line, the other is more pronounced, and then this one. with all 3 together from the same mint and year, is it common? or could i get something for them on ebay?
