sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 12:08 pm Not sure if this is the start of a smoking counter stamp or a strike through error? I don't collect counter stamps. The nasty scratch cuts through the side of the incuse area, so happened after it. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 12:34 pm Looks like intentional damage to make it appear there was a cigarette in Abe's mouth. (Note on the lower lip, the wave away from the area where the damage pushed away from the contact mark, probably from a small screwdriver?) I need a closer view to see if the other area is a struck through or damage to the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 3:15 pm Looks like neither. I would say a minor, well-placed lamination. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34450 Posts	Posted 09/05/2020 4:07 pm I was sure that it was just damage, but the fact that I can see Abe's lip at the bottom of the defect is pushing me into the lam camp.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 09/06/2020 2:18 pm Actually now that I look, I can see what might be a lam break line from creek up towards ear. Thanks. Never would have looked past the obvious. I think a LAM is what it is. Wonder how collectable it would be due to the just right placement if I call it a smoking hot LAM? Report this Post to the Staff
