Cracked Planchet on 1921 Peace

2ltdjorn2ltdjorn Posts: 2,329 ✭✭✭✭
I was looking at my most recent acquisitions the coin is holdered in a new anacs slab with a grade of MS 63. I noticed at first an imperfection going from the rim at 6 o clock to the point of the neck through the 2, on further examination the reverse has the same crack from 12 o clock though the O of "of" to the head of the eagle. The Planchet is completely cracked. What would this do to the value of the coin?


Edit: the crack is about 1/4 of an inch. I believe this would not be a die crack, but a Planchet flaw?

The crack is very similar to this Cracked 1921 Morgan

    At first I thought you were referring to a cracked die which I love. Cracked planchets... I'm not a fan.

    For this date and grade it may detract from the coin and thus the value.

    Here's a 21 Peace dollar with a planchet flaw. I don't own it anymore but had saved the images.

    Cracked Die (or Die Crack) = The Die itself has a crack in it.

    Cracked Planchet = The Planchet itself has a crack going
    thru it - can be seen on both sides.

    Split Planchet = The Planchet is split along the reeding
    ususally; sometimes it splits in half;
    sometimes it becomes a 'clamshell split'

    So then it appears to be a cracked planchet.
