Seeings its silver I think a lamination error is more likely. just a guess

It was a partially detached lamination when it was struck, which gives it that struck-through appearance. Later on, after it was struck, the retained flip, or lamination, was ripped off, and this is why we see the peeling on the right side of the anomaly.

Struck through something. Perhaps another waffled or damaged coin.

Struck through for sure. Wonder if it is retained ?
Don't try to peel it though. Looks like tape or cloth of some sort. Have no fear. There is nothing but silver there. Not a strike through. The appeal to me when I spotted it was the duct tape look. Quote:

So was this ripped off while still at the mint? Or was it done by one of the same morons that like to "help" clam shell errors? (fingers crossed!) Lastly, any ball park on value if I were to get it slabbed? Thanks! |

I'll go along with the majority on this one.
Still not sure though personally. O.K., so not retained
as far as a struck through goes but a silver coin could still have a strike through (not retained) Does not matter what the coin material is.
Also see some peel about 11:00 a.m. on the rim.
Just seems like the area has too many different lines, waves, hills and valleys for a lamination peel. And part of it seems to either end or run
under the left raised peel @ 4 o'clock. If it is a delam planchet first
then the strike, that must of been one sorry looking blank. Just one question. Would a delam always have to be on the stock first or could it happen after/during the blank punch or upsetting ?

Thanks! This is just my opinion. It may very well be incorrect, but I feel that my description of the error explains the rough surfaces, the more smooth surfaces, and the metal flaps on the right side of the coin. It is often tough determining if the laminated flap was ripped off before or after it left the mint. Many times it is undeterminable. You are correct that this very well could have been "helped" as many clamshell errors are. |

But we know it came off after the strike and it is still a lamination. A nice one at that plus being on a silver coin. Very nice find.

I don't know guys. It kind of looks like it was covered in that edible Silver Leaf that is real silver but thinner than foil. Like this. It probably isn't but it looks a like it is. Looking at it made me think about the Silver Leaf because of the appearance of the texture on the coin. Have you had it graded to make sure it isn't fake?  |

Whatever it may be, it's an incredible error! Great find!

The lamination may have peeled off not at once. Partly one time, then again a second time. Leaving a gap in the center from the two peelings. If one or both layers of the lamination would have been been saved, the price would have been very valuable to an error collector.
