I have this 1941 D Lincoln Wheat penny and would like to know what is going on with the top portion of the reverse of this penny. The metal seems to be a lower height than the rest of the penny. Is this considered a lamination error?
Certainly not a die crack. Appears like some form of long ago 'exfoliation'. Doesn't have the classic linear features of a lamination issue, but that doesn't necessarily rule it out. Others will weigh-in.
