How much will a small Planchet Flake in the field of a Morgan Dollar effect the Grade.

    It won't effect the grade, but it will effect the price...

    Morgans with "laminations" are generally worth MORE.

    But it all depends on the size of the flake/lamination.

    A picture will help image

    OffMetal is correct. A planchet flaw, if cool, can increase the value for a coin. If not cool, it could detract from value. Will not affect grade. A picture would help determine if cool or not.
    I collect circulated U.S. silver

    I don't have a way to take a picture of the coin. I'll take the coin to a friend this evening and see if he will scan it for me.

    Thank you both for the information.
