How rare is this type of coin?

Looks like a planchet crack to me. ????

Looks more like a lamination.

Lamination. Not an error. Just a defective planchet.

It would be a lamination error, not a die crack.

JBK · March 18, 2022 4:46PM

A die crack would be raised.

Lamination. And a nice one at that.

I searched coins that have a "lamination error" and they look nothing like this. Can you please show something to compare and contrast?

Lamination sounds abut right here

It's a lamination crack, although most numismatists tend to lump all of the variations simply as laminations.

Just think of it as a die crack occurs to the die and when it strikes the planchet it fills the crack and becomes raised on the planchet/coin. A lamination occurs to the planchet and has little if any effect on the die so after the strike it is still just an affected planchet which is the opposite of raised. I think it to be a very nice collector item.

Interesting coin, I haven't seen too many like that.

If you could find one as severe as "Broken cc.com" has you would really have something.

A whole page of error coins came up. Nothing resembling this coin. I also searched lamination errors but nothing that is traveling diagonally in a straight line from one side of the coin to the other size. Please be more specific. Thank you.

Is this coin a die crack error?
