Between the two big die chips on his head there is what I thought was a die crack, but after inspecting it I'm thinking it might be a lamination crack, was hoping for a second opinion. Also are lamination cracks just like die cracks in they are Die Deterioration and not a real error?    When I look at it from the opposite angle I can't see it really if you want the reverse angle shot let me know |

A better pic would be useful of the area in question.

On the head it is a die crack and a die chips. Reverse, I can't tell from the image provided. It might be just a stain/water mark?

Really hard to get a better picture for me. I'll see what I can do on break.

Reminds me of a water droplet that dried and left an outside circle. We see this on cents a lot more than on dimes.

Where are you talking about on the reverse coop? All I can see is another die chip on the bottom of the torch.

A lot of die chips of this one. I was more focused on the die crack. How can you tell the difference between a die crack and lamination crack? If it's a lamination crack should I be able to move the part that would be sticking up?

I think that was just a hair lol, I can't find it. And I think this is a die crack, I can see it continues past the highest die chip. My first confirmed die crack find I think. A nice Die Deterioration example. I find way more Die Deterioration errors on US coinage I think, probably due to the mass amounts minted compared to Canada. |

Took another look at this one and the die crack actuallY goes from just above the top die chip, and as far as I can tell goes all the way down near his eyes
