Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 12:02 am I'm going to guess that this is a lamination defect. The loss of definition to the legend on the affected part of the coin is what leads me to this conclusion. There was one that came up this evening on ebay that had a big section peeled away right uu to the eagle's tailfeathers.

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 5:30 pm kind of looks like a lamination type error to me as well. I know I have said it before but will say it again, error coins are not something I am very educated on but have learned a little here and there by topics that have been discussed on this forum. That being said I could definitely be wrong but that was my first impression when I saw it Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 04:09 am I was snooping around early this morning and found the thread on the other place ... actually by doing a google "image" search. Rick's explanation is as good as any...and probably the gold standard to most, but I still feel it could be a lamination issue, just because part of the obverse is unscathed.

ldhair Valued Member United States 115 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 9:26 pm How would that work. Did the lamination fall off before or after it was struck? Report this Post to the Staff
