Well, it's MS, but is it a lamination error or did something fall on it? If it was a lamination error, why didn't the marks tone with the rest of the coin? That's a real nice D/C from 9 to 3

okiecoiner, It is delamination. Probably hard to see from the photo.

I would say it's MS-65, but I wonder if a TPG would consider the delam a detraction and give it a lower grade.

Pacific,

WHY details? it is not PMD. it should be graded IMO.
I believe Canadian TPG's would grade it.
No?

Pacificoin, I don't know what you are seeing, there is no gouge on this coin? Just delamination.

Looks like areas of delam that flaked off.

I'm with Wade - what are those bright areas in the field to the left of George's beard?

1960NYGiants You hit it right on the nail. That's exactly what it is, delamination that flaked off.

Highly doubt this would grade at any of the major USA services.
Also ICCS does not grade Error Coins .
I realize the gouges are part of the lamination that flaked off .
I am willing to bet no one is going to pay foolish money for
this coin which in reality is a minor error , but to many .....
" I will look for a nice , defect free " coin .
Twenty bucks tops is my bet .

IMO looks like the result of a recent "tape" job.
When I was younger (didn't know better) in order to get the crud out of and from around the devices I would take Scotch tape and a toothpick and work the tape into those tight areas. Then when I pulled the tape off small flakes of the copper field would also be released....just my thoughts..
