DrDon Pillar of the Community United States 2624 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 3:16 pm Looks like it was "struck through" a piece of copper which was retained except for the top(part was rolled over). Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 3:33 pm the struck through copper was my hunch. I feel that I could pull it off the coin myself (it folded over on the top right), but I obviously don't want to go there. Coin is in good shape for a 1960. I'm thinking it's worth $20 if a real retained struck through? Report this Post to the Staff
mitchhailey Pillar of the Community United States 1150 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 4:26 pm I'm not sure if its struck through or lamination? You guys are of the struck through consensus? Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 4:35 pm can it be a lamination if the delaminated piece is copper? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2012 8:59 pm Is it rusty? If so it might be steel. If it is copper, it may be debris in the striking chamber. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 10:30 am I think it is just a lamination issue/peel. You can clearly see the image of the normal reverse right through it. Also the underside of that upper peeled area is not copper looking. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 01/23/2012 2:20 pm Doesn't a lamination have to be part of the original planchet? If the copper colored piece was struck onto the coin, and then partially flaked off, it would be a struck through fragment (if it came completely off) or a retained struck through fragment (if it was still stuck in the coin) - but not a lamination. Right? Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: Indian1:I think it is just a lamination issue/peel. . Here is a photo of a lamination peel and folded over.Note that the "R" is still present on the vacated area as well as on the peeled portion (in reverse). I do not know if this is typical or not. Quote: You can clearly see the image of the normal reverse right through it. Not unexpected,it's a thin piece of copper. Report this Post to the Staff
