Hi everyone, trying to find out what type of error happened while striking this 1947 dollar. Do you think it's a die break? Die chip? Doesn't seam as though the rim was damaged after it was minted, looks like it happened during the mint. Maybe a strike through of some sort? Any help would be appreciated.   |

My first thought is PSD Why do you think it is'nt post strike damage? |

I think it is PSD, but it does look a little odd for damage. |

It doesn't look like PSD at all which is why I'm seeking some advice...looks like the rim ridges are intact under the die chip...I seems as though the silver was poured that way |

Poured  Unless the minting process in Canada is very different than in the states, I don't know what you are referring to. |

Planchet error? Or maybe a lamination flaw?

I vote planchet error----because of raised skewed feint bead marks from the die under the "lamination" of the rim. Not a die crack that I've ever seen.The planchet error could well be due to a lamination.

Thank you that makes sense...
What exactly is meant by lamination? Thanks again

Lamination is the separation of different layers within the thickness of a coin---a coin should only have a single layer of silver but sometimes a contamination of the silver plate happens and 2 or 3 layers occur---these layers can reveal themselves through wear or minting or post mint damage ( PMD)---some coins are so laminated that they split into 2 coins. |
