SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 07/08/2013 12:15 pm The rim speaks volumes to me... that is a coin struck on a flawed planchet. During the rimming stage of the blank, there was drop in pressure across the coin at the site of the flaw, and created that Blakesley-like effect with the rim. Nice error. I know there are at least two collectors on this site who collect cracked planchets, perhaps they can give you a sense of value...
