Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 1:51 pm I wonder if anyone can tell me how you recognize when a crack is a plating crack or when it is a die crack? Would a plating crack have zinc visible along it? Does anyone know where there are some photos of plating cracks? Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 07/09/2015 2:10 pm Thanks, SSK - those are good to know about, but it seems they are talking about split plate, not a plating crack. I have never heard of a "plating crack" until this discussion. I have been unable to find anything on it with an internet search...hence my question. It is fairly clear to me that I am not looking at some form of split plating with this coin, since no zinc is visible along the crack. That is why I am looking for more information about a plating crack. Of course, perhaps the original use of the term meant "split plating" instead! I am just about to decide that what I am dealing with here is a die crack - even though they are seldom, if ever, seen in this location! Report this Post to the Staff
