I agree, it is an unusual one with the almost square area by the date fallen out!!

Could it possibly be a folded over partially retained lam from another planchet struck through on this one?

If that was the case would the metal still be missing from around the 9,6, and D ?

Almost looks like someone tried trimming off the lamination. There is a mysterious mark on the top of the '0' and one on the right side of the '6'. It almost looks like a strap of folded over (or two ends) of copper debris was struck with the coin then peeled off, leaving an indented area on the whole coin. If both pieces were all there, the value would have been even higher. Sometimes best to leave the lamination area intact.

Awesome Lamination! Congratulations! That's a very good example. You must be proud to own it. Errers and Varietys.

This is an odd nice one. Is it possible a prestrike lam from the back shoulder popped off, slip over and struck through over date? I'm thinking prestrike lam on the back shoulder, because of the weakness showing near opposite it seems present on the reverse. Watch the remaining section as it could pop anytime in the future. Thanks, Doug. |

I'm thinking a pre-strike folded over debris was in the chamber. Where it was folded over, it peel off with the two were two layers. The single layer area (over the coat) remained in place. Just where the folded over areas were, peeled off. That is my thought.

My first clue was the odd shape near the date area that looked like the material was folded over on that area. With the other end peel, it may have had the same thing happening there also. On layer would adhere to the coin, but not two layers. So they peeled off. (Looks like the one on the date area was trimmed off. The '60' has mysterious incuse marks on that area.
