I have this 1964 Quarter… it has these small cracks . One looks like I could possibly peel it up. My question is , is this what they call a defective planchette? Thanks Tom

@Sandon I will from now on , thanks Tom

The halo is present in all lighting, it looks pressed lower .

@Sandon thanks for the link …. Is this an example of a (above TED) die break ? Thanks Tom

Another pic

I finally bought myself a decent scanner, slow but detailed. This coin has some weird surface radiating lines. Along with a halo around Kennedy. Kennedy has a double cheek , chin , lips and neck. And a few reverse letters are DD. it’s quite a messy example of Quality craftsmanship. The lines remind me of rain being push across a windshield. thanks Tom

I was educating myself on the values of errors as compared to quality coin grades. Then ran across this paired set of pennies. I instantly wondered, was this a mint employee creation, or production keepsake ? My reasoning was it would never fit in a penny roll for distribution, right? Any mint workers on the chat board, thanks Tom

@EagleRJO thanks …. What’s a good publication to learn the terminology, thanks Tom

@Sandon how is a die chip created ? Thanks Tom

I just went through $20 dollars of 1950 pennies. Is this a Die-crack . I’ve looked over dozens of pictures with …. So many descriptions. Thanks you guys & gals rock , Tom

@Sandon could you direct me to the grading & procedure policy for NGC . No use using my x10 if they don’t. Thanks Tom

I can see my posts need better images. So I’m in the market now for a coin microscope. Thanks Tom

@powermad5000 I saw those too through my loupe. But they are located in the same location as better quality coins. I will find a reputable coin dealer and get a proper opinion. Thanks Tom

@powermad5000 My iPad is maxed on resolution, sorry. Two are with kitchen led overhead lights, the other is Desktop halogen. Thanks for your input, Tom
