HumblePie Pillar of the Community United States 1217 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 7:26 pm I would like to hear some thoughts on this Cent. I'm guessing this is some type of planchet flaw? Cracked planchet? You will see a nice crack by the ribbon and the hairline cracks goes from rim to rim. Also, by UNITED, at first I thought it was PMD, but looking closer I questioned that. Thanks for any help. If more photos are needed I will supply them. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/16/2022 9:42 pm @hp, to me it seems more like a narrow lamination than a crack in the planchet, but I'm not sure. I'm interested to see what others think.
