westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 6:23 pm As far as how it might affect the value - One side for damaged planchet, means less money as it's not as desireable to a collector for a set. On the other hand an error collector might pay a premium for it, though a very small premium, a dollar or two more. At least that's the way I feel about my 2Â¢ pieces I collect.

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 8:48 pm With a coin this old, and this worn down, I think it would be mostly viewed as a defect worth maybe only a small premium,(as stated above)to the right collector. If it were a modern coin in better condition, it would definantly be viewed as an error. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/18/2012 10:44 pm It is either a lamination or a cracked planchet, need a picture of the edge to determine either way. A cracked planchet would hold a bit of interest for an error collector but a lamination would not really affect the value too much. Report this Post to the Staff
