That's very cool looking! Seems to be a lot going on here too. Maybe tropicalbats or Mike Diamond will chime in as to when and what happened. Looks like the lam was already gone before strike? Crazy looking at the base, right at the rim where it broke off.

Nice lam. Almost looks like the surface at the bottom might have been scraped down to form the ridge.

very nice lamination!

uruman, your usage of the word 'shearing' is confusing me some in the way you are using it. are you saying that you are 'sharing' this coin with us, or do you mean that there is metal shearing going on with the coins you are posting..

(please forgive me, but I'm in a ton of pain from a badly pinched nerve in my back which is running down to my foot, and on top of that I had a huge dental procedure doe the other day and the pain meds may be affecting my thought process)

You may be right, Greasy Fingers, I'm still in the learning phase of most errors. The only reason I say this, is because LIBERTY looks struck up so well, would not think it would be if the lam came off after the strike.

that was the same area that had me questioning if it was a pre or post strike delam. But Abes bust and motto looks post strike...

No need to apologize, here I thought you were using the Canadian spelling.

This lamination appears to be post strike to me. The reason LIBERTY is well struck is likely due to the lamination flake being on the thin side. Nice coin!
