MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1769 Posts	Posted Today 23H 2M ago That is quite a long way to say "die crack", but I'm attempting to be as specific as possible. It has what looks very much like a lamination, but where there would normally be a torn or peeled look at the edges, there is an outline of raised metal / die cracks. The cracks continue in either direction to the rim, and the upper-right hand side of the obverse is at a slightly higher elevation than the lower-left. https://www.error-ref.com/die-crack...-die-cracks/ https://www.error-ref.com/bi-level_die_cracks_/ https://www.error-ref.com/bilateral...-die-cracks/ Please let me know if you think I've gotten it wrong!

publius Pillar of the Community United States 864 Posts	Posted Today 22H 40M ago It's hard not to think that the die must have disintegrated completely, shortly after this strike. Report this Post to the Staff
MintedNotPrinted Pillar of the Community United States 1769 Posts	Posted Today 22H 5M ago Agreed! Such a small die too, it's only a 15mm / 1g coin. Report this Post to the Staff
