Titles are Important! * Hi folks, Does this 1987 LMC have a crack in the planchet? It appears that the "A" is completely there but a crack runs under it. The only way that could happen is if the planchet was cracked prior to the strike, it that correct? Just trying to learn, thanks Chris Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74533 Posts	Posted 02/25/2019 10:12 am That's called a " Ridge Ring". It's caused by Die Deterioration, from a worn die issue, from striking a ton of planchets at the U.S. Mint. It's pretty common. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
