SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/10/2020 5:43 pm The fact that the image of Kennedy's profile is visible on the copper layer is a good sign, but well above my pay grade to weigh in definitively. Report this Post to the Staff

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2739 Posts	Posted 09/11/2020 08:33 am Half of the obverse clad layer separated and broke off after the strike. You're looking at the 80% copper / 20% silver core. Error coin writer and researcher. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/11/2020 2:20 pm This also peeled off after the strike. If it were pre-strike, then the devices on the non peeled area would be strong: Because if it a ghost image, it peel off after the strike: Can you see the differences? Report this Post to the Staff
