<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 938915, member: 15199&quot;]Welcome to the forum AngieEllen!</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Notice how ( the bottom photo shows well) the cracks seem under the letter &quot;T&quot;. This means the problem was the copper planchet before the striking of the coin. it is a lamination error ( of the metal ) and is very common in the small cases such as here. If larger parts were peeling off, maybe it would be worth a premium, but it is not here. The pressure of striking often causes the lamination to separate, and toning and wear makes the edges apparent. I think it is an interesting coin since it does have as you said a &quot;spiderweb&quot; appearance <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Welcome!</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
