Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 9:28 pm I've of two minds on this one - possibly a planchet lamination issue, but I haven't ruled out damage. What do you think? Reverse is unremarkable. Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19247 Posts	Posted 12/17/2021 9:42 pm My first reaction is lamination. A couple closer-in images taken at different angles (other than vertical) might tell us more. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 98306 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 07:43 am Well it does look like a lamination. Could it also be that the coin took a glancing hit from the right, hitting the rim and folding over the metal? I would love to see a close up of this. Collecting since 1972.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21655 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 08:01 am Looks like a folded over lamination. Nice find to have the piece still retained. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 11:39 am I want to say a lam as well, but it also looks like someone handled the coin with putty on their hands! I agree, could we see a closeup of the area? Report this Post to the Staff
sirguardian Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 12/18/2021 7:26 pm I want to say damage due to the striation lines coming from the rim. I don't think laminations leave striation lines... check me if I'm wrong, no expert here. Report this Post to the Staff
Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 11:17 am Does this additional shot at all help decide the issue? Colligo ergo sum Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 1:16 pm It could be a Lamination issue or a struck through debris issue. Probably a struck through as it is over the rim of the coin. A lamination tends to peel on in a straight line a bit longer this. Some lamination issues looking interesting. Some lower the value because of the not being eye appealing. (Note below face value as a damaged coin is always worth face value) It appears the peel happened during circulation.
