IMHO the incuse part of the irregularity was on the coin prior to the copper plating being applied.
If the plating came off in the incuse areas, wouldn't the zinc be exposed?
I'm in the camp of defective planchet before the plating.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Still a nice example of a plating peal.
But, Pete brings up a good argument against it. (with one exception at the K-2:45 area where the zinc is exposed.)

But zinc doesn't laminate. It is pure zinc. Looks more like a scratch and plating issue. Note the exposed zinc areas.

If you can see plating below that area instead of gray color, then you could have a piece of plating that was struck onto your coin. But if you seeing just gray under there, it is a split plating issue. The reason I asked this question is that the affected area looks like it is on the rim and possibly wraps around the edge of the coin? But if it is just gray under the loose area, it is not a struck issue. But not a lamination error.

Thanks coop. I'm going get some acetone and give it a soak. I checked the edge and didn't see anything different

Thanks mb560600. I used the enhance feature on the optimizer to make it look better. I'm sure he could diagnose this error but it may not be that rare for him to comment on. I don't know. Maybe...

No need to soak. Just lift a loose area and see the color under the plating. If copper colored, then it was a struck through plating from anther coin.   Note the foil ribbon on the surface of the coin:  If it is gray, then the plating was altered. So you will know either way.  Note on this one the rim burr broke off of the rim, exposing the gray zinc underneath. CoopHome: Struck on foil from another coin, what does that look like? (This can happen with planchets are crushed/broken before the strike or thought the strike)Edited by coop

Thanks coop. I don't think I can lift it up without damaging the plating. It looks like the area near the bowtie is struck into the coin or didn't fully peel. I might send it to anacs one day
