Yeah, I was umming and arring between a retained struck though and bi-level die crack.
One can only speculate..

If it is a Struck through extra metal, then it should weigh a bit more than normal. If the weight is normal then it would be a lamination. But I'm thinking the weight will be over normal, a bit.

I think I'm about ready to give up on this coin... it weighs in at 2.9 grams. Arggghhhh.

So it's underweight? If the weights fluctuated back then, it still could be either, but if not then I don't know where to start.. Square 1 again maybe haha

There is a clear line on the obverse portion of the rim which continues the "crack" around the perimeter of the feature. This suggests to me that it is a rim break with a rim-to-rim die crack with some vertical displacement.

If it were a crack we would see the edge of that area raised. Looks like it has lifted a bit moved a little. The edge looks like you could see under it?

extra metal.
What do you mean? I mean struck though extra metal that is still attached, but like Coop mentioned it should be a bit over weight. Your coin is under weight. Are you sure your scale is accurate? Is the reverse side normal? |

I cannot see where that little bit of extra metal would make enough difference in weight to be noticeable on a scale. I notice, when weighing cents, that the weight will vary by at least .05 g. I see no way to tell whether that kind of variance would be attributable to the extra metal or not.

I can't tell if it is a lamination or a retained strike through. It MIGHT be a struck through rim burr but it seems a little large for that.

It's a lamination error.
Error coin writer and researcher.

It's a lamination error. Could you explain how you came to that conclusion so others can understand better? |

I don't understand. Appears like a pre-cud crack to me.

With the rim disturbed as is and the flatten devices in the affected area seems a lamination pushed up and someone or something in its past, may have helped push it back in place.  Thanks, Doug. |
