sksvlad New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 8:01 pm There is a crack coming down from "G" in the word "God" down to the right clavicle or so, difficult to see in a photo. The crack does not extend to the reverse side. Is it a type of lamination? Edited by sksvlad 10/02/2023 8:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 8:04 pm Might be the start of a lamination. Please correct the spelling in your title. Report this Post to the Staff
sksvlad New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 8:06 pm Exactly, how do I do this? I looked for edit button but could not find it. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 10/02/2023 9:09 pm Doesn't look like a die crack to me. My best guess is damage, but it could be a very superficial lam.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94786 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 09:15 am I'm thinking lamination, but a better image with better lighting can help here. Collecting since 1972.

sksvlad New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 10:31 am I know my photos are bad, I am trying to comply with forum's 800x800 requirement. Is there a tutorial how to zoom in and still have 800x800 pixels? Report this Post to the Staff

You can also crop the image to the suspected area for a closer look.

sksvlad New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 10/03/2023 10:44 am OK, got it, it must be below 300kB. I'll try after work, if I can catch the sun. Report this Post to the Staff
