Is this type of error collectible or is this considered PMD? |

The bag mark is PMD but laminations and die cracks are collected. It would be really cool to see an even bigger crack/lamination on a Lincoln that resembles the Morgan dollar Scarface. This one is very minor but if it was a crack it could have even better looking longer die cracks in later die states. If it is a lamination I really don't know, but I am pretty sure laminations are planchet flaws and nothing to do with die states. Kris |

i have a bunch of UNC 1959-D cents that I got in a roll that all have a small die crack in the forehead. I would like to see some later die states of them. I will post a picture later.

I've been mulling in my mint whether to press the lamination back down on the coin and remove the piece in one piece if possible. They look nice when it happens.  He got thousands for both pieces graded. |

Coop, I have never even heard of anything like that.

On Chris' picture it look like the left 1/3 was missing the lamination first, then he removed the center portion. But the left part might have been a thinned planchet before the strike. Under the area he removed the devices are weaker than the left side.

The mark near the ear is a continuation of the same hit on the cheek. Kind of a glancing blow. You can actually see under the lamination. So far I haven't got an image of that yet. I do now.  Edited by coop

I still think that might be a die crack Coop. It would be a different type of crack (not raised similar to the scarface). I don't see the usual lamination look or peel.
Pennyman007, I don't see a chip on the ear and I have not noticed a real progression but have not looked at them that much in detail. I did just notice an additional small crack in the hair on both examples shown. I think I have nearly an entire roll of these but not sure. I bought 3 59-D rolls from a dealer here in town and all are interesting coins with different stuff going on. I would guess 5-10 different die marriages total. My favorite are the coins with severe die polishing and minor clashing remnants.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1952-Lincol...em3cd3aa75caThis looks similar to the 59-D coins I have, but a much later die state of a different year, It must be a common place for cracks to occur. If I had the money to waste I would probably by the coin in the link because it is priced cheap and is a pretty nice break.
