I checked my error article in the CAB but only find something simular and not exactly the same. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Edited by KLD 02/19/2006 02:23 am Report this Post to the Staff

crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 02/19/2006 1:44 pm Looks like a MAJOR die crack to me! If that was Mint done it is amazing it got out of the building! Apparently they do have to give quality control a break after all? Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 02/19/2006 2:54 pm Cant be a die crack ,, if it was the affected area would be in relief,, The back of the head makes me think struck thru, but the remainder of the area appears to be delamination ,, My most humble opinion is that it is more than likely a planchet flaw,, that probly started life as trapped gas or a contaminate like oil or grease within the planchet and as time went by broke and chipped away to what we see today .

KLD Pillar of the Community Australia 1079 Posts	Posted 02/19/2006 5:17 pm Planchet Flaw was the one I thought of after reading this article. However they do look different, then again you reasoning for why it looks different, makes sense aswell. Any other thoughts? Edited by KLD 02/21/2006 7:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

RenaL Pillar Of The Community Turkey 1205 Posts	Posted 03/16/2006 02:53 am This is the third coin with-to me- the same error https://goccf.com/t/3988 https://goccf.com/t/4230 I still bet on planchett fault:) Report this Post to the Staff
coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 04/07/2006 04:15 am This is definately a lamination, usually caused by air being inside metal while it is folded or mixed. If the air cannot be eliminated, it will be kept inside , and opccasionally break through to the surface, as on this coin. A great example. Report this Post to the Staff
KLD Pillar of the Community Australia 1079 Posts	Posted 04/07/2006 05:22 am Thankyou all for the information. Due to my recent decision it has come time to sell this beauty. I have held onto to it almost to the end. May I ask everyone for their opinion on its worth, before I put it up on ebay. Thanks, Lars Edited by KLD 08/15/2006 05:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

KLD,that is a very Aussie 1d. with a very nice planchet fault.These are very common on Aussie pre-decimal coins,especially the 1d.The 1/2d. sometimes turns up with planchet faults as well. Aidan.
