brett5091 Valued Member Australia 55 Posts	Posted 05/08/2014 08:31 am I got some coins from the bank today to search through and found this 50 cent with a crack in it. Can anyone tell me what could have caused this? Report this Post to the Staff

darge Valued Member Australia 236 Posts	Posted 05/09/2014 12:24 am I agree with Matteproof that it is a planchet flaw, I have very similar ones for 1971 and 1975 and a couple of others not sure what years without digging them up. [same era though] Report this Post to the Staff

jpl Valued Member Australia 354 Posts	Posted 05/10/2014 7:38 pm Brett, I think the right Terminology for these Error Coin's is Called ( Lamination Cracks/Flaw's ). These occur "after" the Minting Process due to the Metal Impurity's within the Planchet/Blank & it take's time to Develop into these Varity's. I have quite a few of these guy's in all Denomination's. Nice Start to your career. jpl.. Report this Post to the Staff
