<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1721754, member: 26030&quot;]<b>1832 Capped Bust Half (PCGS AU55).</b>&nbsp; I bought this a few months ago in an NGC slab graded AU53.&nbsp;&nbsp; I submitted this to PCGS for an attempted crossing and it came back &quot;Genuine - Planchet Flaw&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I had my friend Robec crack it out for me, photograph it, then submit it raw under Mint Errors.&nbsp; It just came back with a problem free AU55 grade from PCGS.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here is the TrueView photo that was just taken.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I heard from a CBH expert on another board that the Planchet Flaw was actually something called &quot;Drift Marks&quot; with this statement:&quot;Those streaks on the reverse are referred to as drift marks. They are&nbsp; indeed a type of planchet flaw, but actually occur long before the&nbsp; planchets are created. These imperfections occur during the milling&nbsp; process, the process of rolling strips of Silver from which the blanks&nbsp; are produced. The streaks are created when impurities in the Silver&nbsp; expand during the stretching of the metal while the strips are being&nbsp; rolled. The result of dispersal (or &quot;drifiting&quot;) of the impurities are&nbsp; these black streaks.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; Interesting info!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/TVBlack_1832_AU55.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
