Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/14/2009 3:09 pm These coins definitely appear to have Mint damage, not post-Mint. It seems to me that these coins are cracked/crumbled due to weak points in the planchet. Opinions are greatly appreciated. Report this Post to the Staff

MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 09/14/2009 3:47 pm The 1945 appears to be planchet flaw with lamination. On the 1963 I wouldn't be surprised if this is post mint damage. Maybe from some kind of electrical arc. Report this Post to the Staff

Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 09/15/2009 07:42 am Thank you all. I didn't originally think that the 1963 was post-Mint damage, but enough of you feel that it is, so you're probably right. I appreciate all of your help. Report this Post to the Staff
mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2734 Posts	Posted 09/15/2009 09:57 am Judging from the lamination cracks running through the obverse, I'd say the defect along the edge is related to it. The 1963 nickel shows a small ragged clip. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 09/15/2009 7:58 pm I'm with Mike on these. They are both the result of defective planchets not post mint damage. Report this Post to the Staff
