Die Cracks or Lamination Issues?

[johnthereseller]

Just so some people have an understanding of where my opinion comes from besides coins and vintage horns I work in metals for jewelry and have the need to fold the metal to Incorporate say copper and nickel to for an aloy that is stronger than the sum and work harden it. My issue was with the "die crack running to the edge of the coin and then over the side as i have never seen that in a die crack before not even as a child when I first started collecting coins because I like them. I was offering my opinion as stated and that is still my opinion. Not everyone on this site has been given the unfailing gifts as some have from child hood and those who have those gifts should not loard them over those who dont as it puts a bad taste in their mouth for them and this site. I can show you coins that have lamination errors that are not separated or pealing such as off gassing issues caused by traped gasses between the die and the planchet that affect the surface and laminated or plated or clad layer of coins struck by dies that are over heating.

Guys, let's do our best to keep the topic at hand specifically regarding the coin in the original post. No need for ranting on anyone's part, or comments regarding how certain posts reflect on members.

For what it is worth, I believe that the coin pictured shows a die crack. I think anything regarding the rim really has no bearing in this situation.

It is definitely a die crack. I don't understand the discussion about the crack being near the rim. A crack can be anywhere on the coin.

I think what RLM was talking about was not the rim, but the edge. A die crack would not effect the coin's edge. That said, whatever is going on with the edge of this coin is just a coincidence.
