Dearborn Moderator United States 96857 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 09:06 am Can you provide a close up of the area I indicate in your photo?

CoinHunter4 Pillar of the Community United States 1086 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 11:13 am Better From the pics you have provided though, it appears to be either a strike through or a lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
Snickers82 New Member United States 20 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 1:34 pm Thank you everyone, here are two close ups hope this helps. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 2:36 pm To me, at least, the images are not large enough to interpret clearly. To accomplish this, make the close-up area smaller. Report this Post to the Staff

Numis-Northerner Pillar of the Community Canada 857 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 4:29 pm Looks like a retained Lam. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 5:27 pm retained lamination. Condition wise, I'd put this at barely G04. Might carry a small premium to someone that collects Lamination errors. Value: maybe $15-$20 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96857 Posts	Posted 09/01/2021 5:46 pm with lam for now, but the lines are too perfectly straight. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 09/12/2021 12:35 am Yup, definitely a lamination error Report this Post to the Staff
