Burny New Member Australia 18 Posts	Posted 05/15/2021 01:06 am I have found this 50 cent coin with cracked edges. I was wondering if it was die cracks. Sorry, I could upload the photos of the front and back of the coin since both were to big. In the photo the crack are not just in that one spot, the coin has it around the entire edge. I would like the help. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 05/17/2021 03:08 am During the rolling process, the metal strip from which blanks are punched, sometime a drop of oil gets rolled in and leaves a flat cavity inside the strip. What you see here is evidence of the edge of such a cavity left behind by the oil drop; it causes the metal strip to form laminations or layers. Report this Post to the Staff
