I would like to see this closer on the UNITED area. Hard to tell if the images are ghost like, or strong there. It may be just a lamination issue after the strike or before the strike. Depending on the strength of that areas devices.

Looks like before the strike?

Part of it. If you look closely, you can see it covers the entire coin. See towards the rim at the top?

It looks like it peeled off afterward. The ghost images are small, that indicates to me that it peeled after the strike.

Looking closer at this coin as I was working on an image of it. It looks like a real strange one. Note on UNITED it looks like it peeled after the strike, while on STATES it looks like it peeled there before the strike and moved the metal over AMERICA struck onto the coin. On the east side of the building I see it pressed down onto the field. On the EPU I see metal over the devices there which makes we wonder if this was a flattened fin that is over the devices on the top part of the coin? Certainly is more there than what I saw earlier. Anything going on with the obverse side cwb?   A lot more there that I spotted at first. Might have to bring Mike Diamond in on this one... Edited by coop

The obverse & the edge look normal. I can post some images of it later.

Looks like some metal peeled away from UNITED STATES before the strike. There's a folded lamination covering the last S of STATES and the space after it. A lamination crack runs through OF. Some metal was lost between the rim and OF AM after the strike. Not sure what's going on just inside the rim in the northern hemisphere. Could be a circumferential lamination crack, a folded-over and struck-in fin, or pre-strike damage.

Thanks Mike. The larger images helped me so there was more to than just a lamination peel. Still waiting for the obverse images to see what was going on there.
