What would you call this error? ****FULL COIN PIC ADDED

Bodin

Or is this some kind of PMD?
I want to accurately represent it.

Thank you, as always for your expertise.

Looks like a "split planchet" to me...due to the jagged (not straight) discontinuity...yes.

thats what it looks like to me as well. jmo

Definitely a split planchet.

FredWeinberg

It's not a split planchet,

but a cracked or defective planchet,

or possibly a ragged end clip.



Split usually means horizontally

thru the edge of the coin, like a

'split clad layer'.



This coin was struck on a planchet

that was probably the end of the

strip, and unfinished; or, as mentioned,

it could be a crack in the planchet itself,

due to improper metal mixture, or some

similar type of defect when the blank was

punched from the strip.



If the rim opposite this area is weak, then

the crack was on the blank, when punched.



If not, it's a cracked/defective planchet.



Hope this helps

as usual, well said.

FRED, definitely helps!
Thank you everyone.

I don't see any Blakesley Efffect

opposite the cracked area, so

I wouldn't call it a ragged end clip.



"Cracked" or 'Defective' Planchet.

Cool, I just learned something... Thanks, Fred!

I'd call it either a cracked planchet or a ragged rim clip. I'd probably lean toward the former since the crack is so well defined as viewed from the edge, a ragged rim clip would look more like crumbling than a straight line.
