Planchet Flaw Help Or Hurt Value?

It looks like a coin hit to me. It may hurt the grade a little over all it should grade pretty good

I would think that C.C is correct. Anything that impares a coin detracts from the value.

I would venture to guess that if a coin has only minor value that a planchet error could add some additional value to a given coin.

Now that gets into error coin values. If a die break is large enough, or if a Die Cud is very major (1/3 of coin) or strike through error is cool enough (wire brush), it could add value to a given coin.

I have found that if a normal coin already has a substantial value that an error on that coin may hinder it's value, or, rarely adds much to it.

For instance: one of the PCGS PF68 DCAM 1953 nickels is the Fivas Stanton double die coin. PCGS shows a value of 12,000.00 as a 68DCAM. The double die could add or subtract from that coins value. Most high grade DCAM collectors would probably want their coins to be perfect. Die collectors may see it differently. If that double die was massive than I think value would increase. Someday, I think that the varieties may win out price wise.

Normally, the more value a straight coin has (non variety), the less a given variety adds to it. They are already well established and rare. Gusp
