I'd say a lamination, and a great example.

With such strong details to the hair and weaker details to the beard, chin and neck, I have to disagree with Grapes and say IMO.. I think the lamination fell or was pealed off after the strike...either way it is a nice size de-lam error cent...where did you make this good find?

GC , there are worn but visible striations on the high points of the design. These would have disappeared during the strike had the planchet been laminated before the strike. Here is one that I have with photos before and after the lam came off. Note the lam striations on the high points of the design.  Here is one that split/laminated before the strike. Note that the lam striations show only where the design did not fully strike up.  The OP's coin is a nice lam after the strike. Edited by stoneman227

It's from a bag of 5000 wheats I bought over ten years ago on ebay and put away, only just now getting to search them. |

What does FF and IMO mean?
I can't find them in the glossary.

I would like to see the reverse of the 1960 Memorial cent to add these to my educational files. |

That's maybe lamination issue, clearly missing a layer of metal but I'm not expert just start learning .

When I saw the reverse, I knew I already had that image. But the information was incorrect on it. Had to fix it.  |
