<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2017381, member: 15929&quot;]Some quick definitions:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Die Crack</b> - A broken die which will impart a &quot;raised&quot; area on a coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Plating</b> - Plating is a process where an extremely thin layer of one metal gets overlayed onto another metal. The only coin from the US Mint which is plated is the Lincoln Cent and the plating occurs well before the US Mint ever receives the blank. US Quarters are not plated. They are a sandwiching of a thin layer of Copper-nickel over a 100% Copper Core.</p><p><br /></p><p>Typically, since 1965, Roosevelt Dimes, Washington Quarters, Kennedy Half Dollars and Eisenhower Dollars are referred to as CnClad.</p><p><br /></p><p>With CnClad coins, occasionally one or both of the Clad Layers comes off of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
