rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 09/29/2008 1:53 pm That looks like a lamination error along with Grease Filled Die's. Edited by rockdude 09/29/2008 1:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 09/29/2008 2:37 pm I have some Aus and UK coins that resemble the second photo. That could be a lamination defect that fell out after striking. (good point about the lamination re Zincolns) Edited by KurtS 09/29/2008 3:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/29/2008 3:12 pm The weakness of USA was caused by either a clogged die or weak strike, I would lean towards weak strike since it is opposite of the high point of the bust. CENT was more than likely struck through something, possibly metal scrap, and I do not think that a Zincoln can develop a lamination(or at least I have never seen one). Something that deep would expose the zinc core but it would not be exposed if it was indented like a strike through. Unfortunately, you second pic looks like the coin was scrubbed Edited by biokemist6 09/29/2008 11:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/29/2008 4:58 pm I think Mike Diamond referred to that as a strike through (Rim Bur). I've seen that before and remembered that is what he called it on a Nickel. Maybe he will chime in on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 09/30/2008 12:37 am Hi, It appears to be a struck through error. It also appears as though someone buffed up the coin somehow. That destroys the value of the coin as small as it is for this type of error. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
