Mike Diamond is gonna be like "it got stuck in a Coke machine" no premium. It's safe to spend. Which regardless of what the issue is, is what the final verdict will be...still very diff. Not something you see every day

Just a thought; The planchet is punched out of a rolled sheet of zinc. Lamination should be possible prior to plating. I wonder what that would look like. Could this be an example of sub plating lamination?

Hmm. I wonder if it's some type of Pre-Strike Damage? Maybe the Planchet was damaged before the strike? I don't know on this one. This is a very tough one.   Errers and Varietys.

The force of the strike and the flat fields would have mashed it down flush with the field surface. I think something damaged the die somehow. In which case more of them should eventually turn up. |

My first thought after seeing it was some type of lamination peeling. |

Laminations don't happen anymore on the Copper plated Zinc planchets. They only happened on Copper Cents.

Found this today:  It reminded me of the Mark1959's coin. The difference is that part of it has peeled off.  In hand it looks deeper than it should if just the plating peeled. This suggest to me that part of the zinc came off with the plating. If so then perhaps there was a flaw in the planchet prior to plating. |

DrDon, I think what you have here is Cracked Copper plating that is starting to peel off.

...and the year? The year matters little. It is late 1982 or later. Copper plated zinc. The post is not about the coin but what is on it. But since you asked it is a 1999D

I know I'm bringing a very dead topic back, but I might know what it is. It might have been Struck Through a retained rim burr.
