slqcarnell1 Valued Member United States 82 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 2:09 pm This coin has a crack and it goes all the way to the back of the coin. What is the proper term for this and does it carry a premium. Thank You, Carnell Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 4:22 pm Yes, that would be a cracked planchet. If I remember correctly, cracked planchet silver dollars typically go for ~$100 so $30-40 would probably be a reasonable estimate for your example. Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 10/23/2013 10:40 pm Actually, I tend to disagree about the price. Most of these smaller cracked planchets don't command much of a premium over an average silver dollar. It's the ones that are graded and in mint state that bring the small premium that buyers are willing to pay. Not to be a downer, but I think for your coin you'd be lucky to get $13.
