j0b Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 09:51 am Opened a roll this weekend of an OBW roll of 62d Lincoln Cent and came across this find. Should it be sent to Cuds-on-coins? Report this Post to the Staff

Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 4:30 pm I can't tell 100% if crack from the pictures. But what is that discoloration that runs over the length with the "crack"? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/04/2021 7:12 pm That was why I suggested a lamination error. A die crack doesn't leave a line over the affected areas. Report this Post to the Staff

Oh, OK now I understand what you were saying. When you said "Lamination issue" I wasn't putting 2 & 2 together. Report this Post to the Staff
j0b Valued Member United States 68 Posts	Posted 03/05/2021 09:06 am Now that you mention it coop, about the lamination and discoloration. maybe it was a lined scored on the sheet prior to the planchet being punched, which give the appearance of a die crack Report this Post to the Staff
