1950D defective planchet.

Nice defect on this 1950D nickel. Looks like a crack in the planchet before striking. Although it could have cracked after striking I suppose. Look below Jefferson's shoulder.

Looks good to me nice find.

 

What do you think, crack before or after strike?

 

I'm going to wild guess after strike.

 

Before

It's on a defective planchet

 

Thanks Fred.

 

That is pretty cool, nice find.

 

Looks like the beginning of what might be a fissure. Interesting find and great for educational purposes. http://www.error-ref.com/cracked-planchet/
