peaece13 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 05/11/2015 3:17 pm Hello all, I came across this one today in a lot I bought and was wondering a grade and as to what anyone thought about what ever is going on on the right side of the obverse. Lamination / cracked die? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/11/2015 4:27 pm I think it is a planchet flaw, I feel like you can see under it a little which would eliminate the Cud possibility and support the lamination peel idea. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/11/2015 4:51 pm " Cud" is not an acronym. Since there's shadow appearing at its' edge, I'm inclined to think it a lamination as well. Report this Post to the Staff
peaece13 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 05/11/2015 5:00 pm So how would this "lamination" affect a possible grade? Approximate grade? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 05/11/2015 5:29 pm I agree with lamination. I could be wrong, but some people prefer these to a "normal" coin, and would probably pay a little more. Others see it as a defect. I think TPGs consider them "details" coins.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5837 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 03:08 am The strike appeared weak in the motto and the peripheral around the device. I would grade it as AU-53 to AU-58, not sure about the FB. I'd like to see the edge of the coin, it could be lamination or possibly planchet crack error, but most likely is lamination. For this I think it subtract the value rather then adding it, if the piece have actually fall off, that would be cool error coin! Report this Post to the Staff

razorblaydejr Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 05/12/2015 4:42 pm I don't collect this series, but in general, these defects/errors add value for me. I like having these types of errors in my collections. Report this Post to the Staff
