planchet defect

I have a 1867 nickel 3 cent with a planchet defect - nice coin otherwise - I am new to this and wondering what planchet defects to to the value?

A photo would help:thumb:

 

Can you post a pic so we can see it? That would give us a better chance to formulate a correct opinion...

 

ok thanks - I was asking a generic question on planchet defects - once I have the coin in hand and figure out how to upload pictures - I will post this one

 

Curious

Welcome Allen~

I'm curious, too.

Perhaps I can shake out some opinions by posting my generic photo.

I found this coin in change and set it aside because it looked "different".
I threw this under my "soup bowl" camera system to evaluate it. It looks like a problem with the planchet to me.

Now, does this coin HAVE a planchet defect? And is it of a type that adds value?

 

thanks for the reply - the coin has an area missing along the top edge - it looks like due to the stamping process due to inferior material or not enough for a complete coin.

I will work on figuring out how to post pictures.

Hi,

We need a picture of the Original poster's coin to figure out what kind, if any the suspected planchet defect could be.

The quarter is just damaged . "Environmental damage" also known as corrosion is the culprit

Thanks,
Bill

 

It could be a number of things. I picture is a must to give an educated opinion.
