Matt_J Valued Member Australia 88 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 12:00 am Hi Everyone, Upon my recent noodling I've come across some damaged coins, 2 I think are PMD and 1 possible a die crack? I would like any feedback if possible as this is a new hobby and I'm picking it up as I go. 1972 - possible die crack? 1981 - Strange twisted but flat damage along rim? 1999 - I'm thinking pliers may have caused this. Any advice whether I should keep these or throw them back would be appreciated. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

flippy Pillar of the Community Australia 1874 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 12:09 am Hi Matt The 1972 is a lamination flaw and is worth keeping in my opinion. The 1981 has been hit by something and is PMD so not worth keeping unless you like it. The 1999 Looks like it has been cut with pliers and is also PMD and again not worth keeping unless you like it.

Matt_J Valued Member Australia 88 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 01:33 am Thanks for the info, where can I find out more about lamination flaws? I will keep hold of it as it the first I've come accross, I'm not after any PMD coins so will send the others on their way. Is there any thread to determine the value (if any) of lamination errors as I will start to keep an eye out for these aswell. Report this Post to the Staff

Nevol Formerly nancyc Australia 5385 Posts	Posted 01/12/2013 1:55 pm I posted a fair few images of some of my lamination flaws here: https://goccf.com/t/109537 I've seen some pretty spectacular ones, but most of mine are pretty much run of the mill. I guess value of one of these would depend on how much someone would be willing to pay. The few I bought were between $3 - $8 each, but my best one was a gift from a forum member in 2011. life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved Edited by Nevol 01/12/2013 2:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
