Hello All, new to all this, is this considered a die crack, if so then I found my first one, if not then what would it be classified as?
Thanks for all your help

Not a die crack, a die crack would be raised.
Looks like a minor lamination problem.

Agree, lamination.
I prefer to collect Delamination's. They tell me what is actually happening, die cracks tell me what is going to happen.

Dan,

I agree that delaminations are interesting and certainly more variation potential. Has anyone that collects LAMs noticed a date trend?

On the other hand, it's always a little cool when someone posts a die-crack coin that is the exact same as one you have in your own box - especially something as recognizable as a "spiked head", for example.

thanks everyone, so what does a guy do with a coin with these kind of issues? back into circulation or hold on to it? can a lamination issue have any value?

thanks again for the lesson, back to the hunt
