It looks like a die break or crack running at a 45 degree angle out of the back of his neck. Does anyone have any info? Is it random? Something that is collected? Thanks!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 2:01 pm The obverse is a Linear plating bubble under the plating. No premium for this. The reverse looks like a slight amount of grease on the die and also weakness because of the strike to form the obverse bust side. (also common on this area) Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74105 Posts	Posted 01/15/2018 2:53 pm Just a Linear Plating Bubble (Gas Bubble). No premium as Coop stated. 1982 was a bad year for the U.S. Mint since they were switching over to Copper plated Zinc Planchets. They had a lot of problems with the plating process since contaminates would get in the plating mix. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
