PamV Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 9:44 pm Please help me? I f you would let me know if this is a die crack? Also what it is if not a die crack? So I know what to call it. Also the horizontal line from the"T" in (Cent) would that be considered doubling? Thankyou Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 9:49 pm I'm not sure, but it looks like platting bubbles. If it's just a bubble, it may flex under pressure from a wooden toothpick. It really seems too wide and smooth for a die crack. Let's see what the real experts say.

PamV Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 10:02 pm Thank you, Its a well circulated coin, so I don't mind trying that. I use my daily change as lerning tools. It would be wonderful to find something unique or valuable, but unexpected to say the least. I think I should wait for all the input before attempting anything first. I dont trust me.

PamV Valued Member United States 133 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 10:25 pm So is that when the mix the metals to make the planchets or a coating that is put on the coin? Is this type of damage concidered an error or PMD? I apologize for all the questions, but I am truly curious. Not only that, also the more I know the less of a fool I make of myself.

kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 10:34 pm Die damage, but not a die crack. Something got caught in the striking chamber that damaged the die. Once damage is done to a die the result shows up on coins struck by that die. Report this Post to the Staff
