coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 9:52 pm A lamination or broken occlusion- a bubble of gas gets stuck inside the metal that is being rolled to make the coinage strip. As it is made into thinner strips, the bubble comes to the surface of the coin. The metal over the gas was only partially attached, at the centre, and so broke off, giving you this interesting affect. It happened in striking, not outside the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16844 Posts	Posted 11/29/2009 11:59 pm Quote: INDIA 10 CENTS 1944 die crack ? Sorry, but the only correct statement there is that the denomination is 10 cents. The coin is from Ceylon, not India (India has never had "cents"). It's got to be a 1951 type rather than 1944, because the 1944 coins have "Emperor of India" added to the obverse legend. And, as the others have pointed out, it's a planchet lamination flaw, not a die crack. Quote: It happened in striking, not outside the mint. The occluded gas bubble happened inside the mint, but the delamination might have happened anytime after the coin was struck - perhaps in the mint or shortly afterwards, or perhaps some time later as a result of normal wear and tear. I'd lean towards the former case for this particular coin; given all the grime stuck inside the hollow defect, it seems to have circulated for quite some time after the flaw appeared. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
