Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 10/14/2006 2:51 pm Hi wrongalot Thats an interesting coin,, I'm assuming from the thread title that the coin is a philly mint coin since you did not list a mint with it ? although the anomoly has a nice shape of a D in most cases dropped letters make an incuse impression on the coin,, I cant decide from the pics exactly how to attribute this coin. My first impression was die chip , but I cant say positively that is what it is. Rick Report this Post to the Staff
wavysteps New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 10/14/2006 8:00 pm One other explanation may be that this is a loose piece of copper that is adhered to that spot. If you take a toothpick and try to flick it off you may have your answer. WAVYSTEPS2003 aka BJ Neff Report this Post to the Staff

wrongalot Pillar of the Community United States 608 Posts	Posted 10/16/2006 01:13 am Coppercoins What exactly is a lamination peel? When I shine the light on the left and get the "negative" look it is punched onto the coin, like a letter is. Do you have a website where I can learn about this? Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/17/2006 10:47 am A lamination peel is a loose piece of the planchet that folds back onto itself after the strike. Like a folded back piece of foil. They are somewhat common and usually don't bring much of a premium unless they are substantial. Report this Post to the Staff
