Was organizing my Jeffersons I'd set aside from roll hunting and ran across this one.

Would love it if someone could tell me what's going on here.

... an extreme example of a delamination error ... followed by years in circulation to smooth out all the rough edges.

Nice find ... I call it a keeper for the magnitude of the planchet failure.

I agree. It may not make you rich with profit, but finding it is a memorable experience.
