1921-2 Morgan. For you VAMers. Is this a bad die break?

Going through some more of my Morgans caught this one.

    See the hit on the denticle? Looks like damage, not a break.

    First of all, there is no such thing as a bad die breakimage We love them all! It looks like there is a nice little break in the denticles. Couldn't find it in the updates though, so unless I missed something, I can't find a VAM # for you. Find me something like this to attribute....

    This appears to be a planchet lamination in the rim. It is as struck, more than likely. It would be considered a mint error, but minor and really not worth sending in.

    Thanks,
