cracked planchet

coinsarefun

I have a 1921 Morgan. On the reverse there is what appears to be a die gouge and a crack in the eagle chest and extends a good portion across into the wing. Also there are also lamination area's.

Is this relatively common? Or is it considered to be a planchet flaw.
In either case can it have any added value?

If needed I can post pictures

Pictures would speak volumes about the coin.

The upper arrow points to the lamination, second is the die gouge and the crack starts there in two areas going to one crack and ending up above the dark spot and turning downward to the dark spot




Up close to crack as it extends downward to dark spot that looks like it either fell off or something




Reverse

I took a regular photo trying to show the crack better.

I've sold a couple of Morgans with similar lamination flaws and got a small premium.

It also looks like a VAM 8 "dot" variety. Check out the images at VAMworld.

Yes, it does have the dot and the small one as well but the die scratches are not there but the IN GOD WE TRUST is doubled considerably.
Do wing dots bring a premium?
