Hello guys I’ve fooled myself numerous times in the past but this time I believe it could be a die crack of some kind. I think that because in a lamination error you kinda see both edges of the “crack” just sticking up. But on this coin one sides sunken in and ones raised and they both are still flat with their sides of the crack. Still learning so if anyone can give an explanation as well it would be really appreciated!
And yes I know it’s got pvc damage lol. My grandpa used to keep his coins in pvc flips sadly, but I don’t care for the value of my world coins anyways. They were almost all my grandpas
That is a Lamination Crack. Planchet issue and not a striking issue. A Die Crack is a Die issue. The Crack would be on the Die itself so when it strikes the blank planchet the metal flows up into the crack and appears raised on the coin. It does not crack the Planchet. Understand?
Yes thank you I understand now! I need to get my hands on a real die crack already so I know what it looks like. I’ve seen lamination errors on pennies that sound like what you described though. How do I tell the difference?
Nope.. Here is some information on Plating Bubbles http://www.error-ref.com/blisteredplating/ You have so much to learn!
Thank you I’m going to read that as soon as I can as I’m about to leave for work! Yeah I know I need to learn a ton still haha I’m working at it quicker with the community help
