SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 02/27/2022 12:50 am My friend just got this coin at a local coin shop. At first, I assumed it was just damaged, but when I looked more closely, I noticed that a crack extended through the planchet itself, well beyond the missing material at the rim of the coin. Could it be a cracked planchet error? Report this Post to the Staff
