But when it comes to surface fractures on a coin there can be a variety of reasons for that. (Example) the die itself could have a fracture. Which will be transferred to the planchet upon stamping, not large enough to fill with metal but adequate enough to transfer to the planchet. I&#039;m sure in your collection you have&nbsp; some of these.</p><p>I know I have several of these in my collection and will be collecting photos to come back at a later date.</p><p>And <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/paddyman98.44615/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/paddyman98.44615/">paddyman98</a> And you&#039;re absolutely correct about lamination cracks. You&#039;re right about being two different issues. But sometimes it&#039;s hard to tell between the two. On the planchet I have observed two different kinds of fractures on a planchet. One is a fracture that&#039;s not big enough to be considered a crack I guess. The other one is a microfracture. Two words that I notice not used in coin terminology the way it should be used. usmc60[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
