    This one has a die break on the left Wheat Stalk that appears to also be a lamination. Is it a lamination, die crack or both?

    Does appear to be a lamination to these old eyes.

    I hope so sir. This is all I have left. I am not acquiring new coins, just going through the old ones for interesting features.

    Common die cracks for that area of the wheat stalk.

    Yes, I have many like that. However, this one has characteristics of a lamination. It appears that the surfaces on either side of the crack are at different elevations.

    I see what you're talking about, but they still look
    like die cracks, and not a planchet lamination to my old eyes.

    I posted it because I thought it represented an interesting piece of our hobby. Thanks for the feedback.
