Thank you, everybody! Quote:
I assume the possibility of a piece of clear tape has been ruled out. I saw your question when I was at work and you had me questioning myself, would not be the first bonehead move I've pulled.  After looking at it again, I am convinced it is a lam. I tried to get some extreme angled pics but the lighting was fighting me, I will try again tomorrow with natural light. I did take a few closeups and think I figured out why it looks so odd, almost smoothed edges at the loose laminated areas. When I first looked at the coin, it looked whizzed and I think it has been. I feel like this would explain the smooth look of the lam. See what you all think with the new closeups.    -makecents-

From the full images I would have taken the reverse as a very long die crack that somehow transferred to the obverse though I see no signs of clashing. But you new closeups leave no doubt about a lamination.

Pretty remarkable the more I look at it.

Nice reverse lamination, but I don't see how it lines up with the obverse. Yes as you individually look at each side the diagonal lams are in the same 'relative' location, but in reality (as I see it) the obverse lam would be on the bottom (if we could 'see through' the coin and see both sides simultaneously) I took the liberty of saving both your full coin images and flipped over digitally the obverse image to simulate how it would look if we were still seeing the reverse side.  |

I'm not following, it's in the same direction.  -makecents-

The reverse does look like a lamination issues.
I'm with Dearborn. A lamination that managed to break both the obverse and reverse surfaces of a planchet wouldn't be SW-NE on both sides. The same would be true for a clash.
(I can't remember seeing a coin with two lamination issues, one on each side, that were independent of each other.)
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Guys, I'm really not getting how they are independent of each other. They are in the same general location and running in the same direction. The lam may not be perfectly lined up and seldom are, front to back, but run in the same direction as this does. We are talking about a lam, which is caused by an improper mix of the metals used to make the planchet, there will be no perfection in where they show, front to back but in the same general direction, as this one is. I'll find some other threads and post them here that show what I mean.
