penny guy 1 cent Valued Member Canada 170 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 9:00 pm I hope the photo is good enough to see the damage. Is this PMD or something else. Thanks. Chris Report this Post to the Staff

aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 9:34 pm Looks lie a large die crack. A nice big one. The die is probably near the end of its life. What year is it? You can try and see if that particular die crack has been reported for that year on Coins And Canada.... http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php Check out the Coins And Canada website if you don't know about it already. It's a great resource. Report this Post to the Staff
aswag Valued Member United States 214 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 9:40 pm Sorry. I just saw that the date is in the subject. I checked Coins and Canada for 1951 and didn't see your die crack but there are some other wicked die cracks posted for 1951. Report this Post to the Staff
keepcalmandcoinon Pillar of the Community United States 865 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 10:57 pm It looks more like a planchet flaw. The crack looks like it is in the coin, and not raised how it would be in a die crack. Report this Post to the Staff
lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 03/20/2015 11:25 pm I go for a planchet error---stress crack over underlying problems---looks like an earthquake crack. Report this Post to the Staff
