Xamant New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/03/2025 9:23 pm Hey all, I've been questioning whether this is a possible die error, planchet error, or just odd looking PMD. While combing through Error-Ref, I came across the "Split Planchet Before Strike" page and one of the reference images looked similar to what's going on here. The reason I'm questioning whether or not this is just PMD is that the "damage" appears to be under the WE on the obverse of the coin. Additionally, the rather thick die crack under the left side of the bust suggests that the die might not have been in the best condition. Just in case I went ahead and weighed it and it comes in at 2.53g. Thanks for taking a look! Report this Post to the Staff

Xamant New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/03/2025 9:41 pm @Spence I initially had the same thought but when looking at the WE I noticed that the rim is raised well above the surface and seemingly undamaged where the most material appears to be sunken in. Report this Post to the Staff

Don't know if it's listed, did not look but maybe see if it is on Cuds on Coins website. COC website. http://cuds-on-coins.com/lincoln-ce...s-2000-2009/ -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95075 Posts	Posted 03/04/2025 06:40 am The rim is flattened at the same location on both sides. This tells me that your coin was most likely put into a vise or something similar and crushed. What I see is all damage. But you do have a very nice die crack on it as well. Collecting since 1972.

Xamant New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 03/04/2025 10:30 am Thanks all for the responses! I guess that die crack got me carried away a bit and I ended up putting too much thought into the damaged aspects of the coin. On a side note, I have a few coins that I suspect have lamination errors. Should I create a separate topic for each coin, or group them together in a single post? Report this Post to the Staff
