If I may offer a contrarian view, I'd like to propose that this is just PMD. It looks to me like there are several areas of scraping on Lincoln's head and this ridge of metal is at the end of one of these scrapes. If it was a lamination, then I would have expected it to wesr down *faster* than the surounding, lower details, such as Lincoln's hair. Thoughts? "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

After reading the other thread, it seems to point at PMD. |

Post a few more pictures Antmark, and I think we can give you a definitive answer. Close-ups of the areas in question and a whole shot of both sides.

It looks like a lamination issue. The metal is rolled up on the left side of the head area. Looks like the right side of the lamination it has peeled and came off. The lines on that area makes me think it was scraped off. (striation lines)

I'm really liking all the feedback..I started out thinking it was a die crack and then went to lamination - to PMD - back to lamination.... |

Those new pics are very well done. I recognize that I'm in the minority, but I still think that the most likely explanation is PMD. However, since the CCF folks are split in our opinions, you should of course save this coin, perhaps protecting it in a 2x2. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."
