Had you not said that, I'd have thought it was. It's pretty clear in the image. I can even see it extending into the rim. Definitely a cracked planchet at the Y. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 8:00 pm I collect Roman coins. In this areas of numismatics cracked flans are common. The Peace dollar here has all of those characteristics that you see with cracked flans in Roman coins. I would guess the reasons for the cracking compared with Roman coins are quite different, however. In the case of the Peace dollar, I guess that the crack is a symptomatic of a foreign (liquid?) inclusion in the area of the crack. The liquid has long since dissapeared. A vertical, rather than a horizontal lamination. Interesting and unusual error for a modern coin. Report this Post to the Staff
