'defective outer clad layer'
They are all man-made magician's coins.
ejection/mechanical doubling on the MM. Very very very common on those silver quarters, especially 1963-D's and 1964-D's.
I see what you're talking about, but they still look like die cracks, and not a planchet lamination to my old eyes.
Common die cracks for that area of the wheat stalk.
What kind of a gold dollar is it? Can we see the obv. & rev. photos? Based upon the one photo above, I'd say it's a 'double strike in the collar'.

As above, it's not an error, and it didn't leave the US Mint looking like that. It's PMD
Oh, I'll probably attend a few shows in the future - Long Beach next month will be the last show I have a table at.... I do plan on going to FUN...
That SBA is not an Unc. coin - I think ANACS got it right. (my opinion only)
The correct cause/effect is an Incomplete Planchet The 'correct' term, in use for 100+ years is Clipped Planchet. "Correct" in the sense of it's...
