Scramby New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/31/2018 6:03 pm Need y'alls advice on this one. It appears to be cracked very badly on the obverse, and the crack can even be seen on the reverse. There is no damage, denting, or distortion on the rim. The two faces are still perfectly flat with no bulging in either direction. I seen a similar one of same year and mint with a small crack on obverse, but that is the only one I can find. What do y'all think? Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 01/31/2018 7:15 pm Ahhh, a lamination is a planchet flaw...a honset to goodness legitimate processing error of the mint. A die crack is SOP a very common occurrence in machining with die presses. Just which has more "real" value in the "real" world of coin collecting? Report this Post to the Staff
