TwoThirtyTwo New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 4:41 pm Trying to figure out especially what's with the S on the 45. Also whether the line on the obv is PMD or not. Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 6:12 pm 43-S definitely not a crack on the horizontal obverse, looks to be contact marks. 45-S MM punch has broken off on the top S area, just minor defect, overall reverse was produced with a worn die, and looks to be weakly strike.

TreasHunt Pillar of the Community United States 2540 Posts	Posted 11/02/2010 1:33 pm agreed w/ Macmercury. #1: post mint #2: possible greased die, or whatever, not big enough to be of major interest. Report this Post to the Staff
arsave Valued Member United States 225 Posts	Posted 11/07/2010 10:39 pm There is a small crack running up and down on the obverse. The left to right mark appears to be lamination. If it is a lamintion error it wouldn't carry any extra value, nor does the crack. Many Mercury dimes have cracks in the location of the crack on the obverse on your coin. The lamination can sometimes keep a coin from being certified. Lamination is a flaw in the planchet. Report this Post to the Staff
