BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/26/2013 10:27 pm It looks like a planchet defect called a lamination. Not really rare, it happens when metal separates usually due to impurities. Value estimates would have to come from an error expert. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
wz1f Valued Member United States 224 Posts	Posted 03/27/2013 12:29 pm Thank you for the info. Also to let you know the coin is less than half the thickness of a full coin. Very deep gouges Report this Post to the Staff
RollSeeker Valued Member United States 366 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 3:37 pm It's definitely worth keeping. As for value, I can't say exactly myself, but at least several bucks. Neat find! Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 03/30/2013 7:05 pm I"d say it looks like a full planchet lamination error, worth a few bucks at the least, I'd slab it or see what Fred Weinberg has to say.
