I don't think minor die cracks are considered errors. Fortunately what you have is not a crack but a delamination error.

jayman931,
I never called it a die crack. Are you reading words into my type? I called it a planchet crack. But if I'm wrong about the planchet crack and it's a lamination error, that will be just fine with me. Thanks.

Its a "Delamination Error" not a Lamination Error. And yes...when you said "Planchet Crack" I though you mean Die Crack. Oops....Plancet Cracks are very rare. Either way...Nice find.

jayman931,
I always thought it was a 'delamination error' but I'm just using Mike Diamond's terminology. He calls them 'lamination error's' too. Is it possible both terms are correct?

I actually have heard it used both ways. PCGS on its own website uses Delamination and Lamination. I thought the use of Lamination was just incorrect but maybe it is accepted. I will just continue using Delamination cause it makes more sense to me due to the definition of Delamination vs Lamination. As an engineer maybe I am just being to technical. The error is not the laminating but rather the delamination of the metal Lamination-(it terms of metallurgy) is to "beat or roll (metal) into thin plates" Delamination- (according to metallurgy dictionary) The separation of layers in a laminate... http://books.google.com/books?id=ar...urgy&f=false |

What you have is a lamination error. A delamination is when a lamination flap detaches and is not on the coin anymore leaving a void.

jayman931,
Just like in politics, if it makes sense, do the opposite. I guess an error to the lamination causing separation would technically be called a DE-lamination. This makes perfect sense. I believe in one of my earlier posts (or maybe someone else's post) It was referred to as a delamination and everybody who commented called it a lamination. I figured I was wrong and they were right.

Let me add more fuel to the fire. Apparently it can also be called a Lamination Crack as per Mike Diamond. For the coin pictured above a Lamination Crack seems like a better term. Think I need a beer to wash the asprin down :) http://www.cointalk.com/t31673/ |

I agree that delamination makes more sense to the average person. But we aren't here to rewrite the book on numismatic terms.Much easier to go with tradition.  |
