From these pictures can it be determined that this is a cracked planchet? What are some of the diagnostics to determine a garage / workbench piece from a mint production problem? I attempted to follow the rules for uploading pictures. Thanks in advance for the advice.
In my opinion, its a cracked planchet. I wouldn't know where to begin in my garage if I wanted to make a coin crack, with no other noticeable damage.
Usually, and I stress usually, a cracked planchet is a very good indicator that a coin is authentic. And yes, that is definitely a cracked planchet.
