Coppergold, thank you very much for your feedback and the update from Mike Diamond! I agree with Mike Diamond as you can see that the Copper plating is cracked on the surface. Also, thank you da Swampster for your feedback as well!

I have a question. Would this be considered Pre-Strike Damage then?

David, it would almost have to be with it being folded and flattened.

Jim, I was thinking that too. I think it was Pre-Strike Damage that happened at the U.S. Mint.  Errers and Varietys.

I would think this and similar type of damage could happen only during either planchet punch-out or squeezing.. Since there's damage to rim/edge as well one would think it happened post-upset.. Both..?
Wish I knew AtoZ of modern minting process.. I've yet to find any vid on the web anywhere close to entirety..

Pretty interesting coin E&V. This example is why I try my best to explain a mint error over PMD. Because if this was found in the wild it would almost immediately be chalked up as such! |

Thank you David Swampster and Newbie234. Newbie, I agree with your statement. This was pulled from an Original Bank Wrapped Brilliant Uncirculated roll of 2018 Lincoln Shield Cents. It came out like this and it's very weird. Somehow, the Copper plating got cracked during the Minting process. Very unusual.

I agree. That was my point. If this was found in a regular circulated roll. The responses would've been"spendable" ," PMD" "parking lot coin". I think sometimes people are to easy to dismiss a coin rather than look at it deeply and try and figure out if it could've happened at the mint. Let's be honest; There are some coins that have been certified mint error coins that would make you scratch your head and say "How did that leave the mint?" |

I definitely agree with you on that. I think we should spend more time assessing on what happened to the coins. I try to do my best, when assessing coins.

Coppergold, it could be that, but the Zinc is still fresh and hasn't rotted yet. I see no raised Zinc on my coin. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm kinda unsure myself.  Errers and Varietys.

That information references the hydrozincide crystals as post-strike damage.. The split-plating shown occurs during the minting process.. Edited by da Swampster

Thank you da Swampster for the clarification. The Split Plating happens the minting process, while the hydrozincide crystals happens when the Zinc start to rot (Post Strike Damage).
