Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74243 Posts	Posted 10/18/2018 11:39 pm I'm thinking that this is a very small rim to rim Lamination. A Die Crack wouldn't have a rough and flaky texture. A Die Crack would be raised. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74243 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 01:18 am Are you sure that this isn't a very small rim to rim Lamination error? I would like other members to chip in, to see what they think. We won't know for sure what it is, until later. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 06:41 am I'm casting my vote with E&V on this one. It's flaky appearance does that for me. Report this Post to the Staff
twistedt Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 07:18 am I'm not exactly sure what it is - but heres my thoughts, i think it is too straight to be a die crack. its almost a perfectly straight line, like someone scratched it. but then it does have the slight appearance of a lamination Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 08:54 am A straight line surface abrasion was my first thought as well. That said, images may be misleading my perception a bit. Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 10/19/2018 09:00 am Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 09:13 am IMO it's a scratch. Some pics with the lighting from different angles would help me make up my mind. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 10:21 am Die cracks can be straight if they are from a sudden failure. In this case I have my doubts to it being a die crack. It just seems to be too much of a coincidence that the O the N the T and wheat all seem to show depressions like damage where ever the line crosses them. A lamination might show that but to have a depression every place where a crack crosses a raised feature seems too much to believe. Report this Post to the Staff
Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 1:17 pm Thanks to all masters for chime in. When you have a coin on your hand you would see. Pictures sometimes is make you confuse for all the lighting angles. It hard to believe a die crack going straight like that. I will look over it again and get a better pics. Thanks again guys Report this Post to the Staff
CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 2:31 pm It's certainly not a die crack. It is either a scratch or very minor lamination due to how weak the line is Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 10/19/2018 9:23 pm Looks like a small lamination - they can be raised like die cracks too. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2018 2:33 pm Looks like a rim to rim lamination. The edge is peeling a bit and shows all across the coin. Very little premium for this. Most of the time they break a sale as they are not a great coin to a true coin collector. To an error collector they are fairly common. So a small premium if any.
