Kurisu Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Another one found in a recent opening of a vintage bank roll... Please and thank you again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thompson2 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Does the crack wrap around the edge of the coin? It doesn't seem to go all the way through to the obverse... To my untrained eye, it looks like a defect in the planchet... KarenHolcomb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisu Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 Nope it's only on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 It could be a planchet issue but I think an in hand view would be needed to say for sure, interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thompson2 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Can you post full sized pics (not a collage) of the first two pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're on a desktop just download it and zoom in. The resolution and focus are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm and id10T and that worked pretty well. Is it just lighting (or just my imagination), or is there an impression of the inner rib of the wheat actually stamped in the "damaged" area?

KarenHolcomb Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Definitely a Lam issue. Idt it's a defective planchet though. Likely there was an IAM that was peeled off, per se. Kind of like a blow he or fissure that doesn't go all the way through. I have several similar and have never been able to come up with the correct term so I always go with Fissure because that seems to fit beat, imo.

Kurisu Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 I need just a little time, but I can get some pretty good images under my microscope... I'll post them as soon as I've got them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the greatest highest resolution microscope but is is way more powerful than a loupe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
