<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 4559342, member: 106826&quot;]When the die breaks, or chips around the devices/engraving, voids or cracks appear in the working die.&nbsp; When it&#039;s used to strike a planchet, the resultant are raised effects on the coin.&nbsp; If these are die related, then it would appear as it does on your coin.&nbsp; However, our fellow enthusiasts have raised the possibility that your coin may be showing the effects of a lamination error with the planchet (instead of the die).&nbsp; In this case, it&#039;s unique to the coin planchet/coin.&nbsp; A die defect would appear on many coins and have the same appearance on each (note: as the defect progresses, it&#039;ll start to create subtle differences in appearance).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
