Is this a lamination error or just PMD

Nice little farthing, not so nice hole in it.

Hard to tell, but in my opinion this was done at the mint, as it is not  clean hole and would be hard to achieve cracks like that.

I believe it to be a flawed planchet. I have a similar one on a 1d.

I tend to agree with you, as I've not seen a case of lamination resulting in a hole like this.

Here's the one I've got, couldn't put up a picture before. Looks very similar, albeit a bit manky haha.

They occur quite often. This is one I had a few years ago.

I like it. Speaks of a very short time in circulation before someone thought "I'm keeping that." :)

It was the "nearly new" look that attracted me. I'm not one for error coins normally.
