Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73756 Posts	Posted 01/21/2025 12:38 am Heavy Die Deterioration and maybe a Die Crack, on the bust. The reverse might be showing a Lamination. https://www.error-ref.com/lamination-cracks/ Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/21/2025 12:39 am Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73756 Posts	Posted 01/21/2025 01:42 am A Die Crack is caused by the die cracking. It's raised above the surfaces on struck coins (Incused on the die). It can be caused by die wear or brittle die failure, etc. A Lamination is caused by contaminates in the metal. The metals separate, leaving flakey stripes on the surface. Laminations are not the same as Die Cracks. I hope this helps. Errers and Varietys.
