I have this 1979 1 cent coin that I am trying to identify what kind of error it would be and any help would be appreciated.

I'm in two minds of it either being a planchet flaw or something wrong with the die.

 

I have attached images.

 

You can see a cud of metal under the one with a diagonal line across the top part of the possum's head and a chunk missing from the face. Also, part of the left claw has not been struck. The SD is present but barely visible, I had to look for it.

 

The straight line across The Queen's portrait. It appears to start at the T of the Elizabeth and extend to the 1 and A of the stamped date and end of Australia.

 

The bottom Image is an AU/UNC 1979 1 Cent

Looks like a planchet lamination error.

Thanks for that insight. I had a quick squiz at what that is and some of the reference images looked very similar to what I have here. I'll put it down to a Lamination Error.

Thank you for your reply, I really appreciate it.
