ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 9:04 pm Looks like a pre strike delamination (defective planchet). Its very cool and more valuable than if it were poststrike imo. How much does this one weigh? Report this Post to the Staff

ErrorCoins222 Pillar of the Community United States 1699 Posts	Posted 09/19/2012 10:30 pm There isn't a need for the weight to authenticate it; there is no doubt that it is genuine. I was just curious as to how much metal was absent from the planchet to create such a weak impression on the obverse. I'd think that its worth around ten dollars. Did you find it in circulation?

Thanks again for helping me out. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 12:03 am with ErrorCoins It must have been a sizable lamination judging by the extreme obverse strike weakness. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 09/20/2012 4:19 pm Nice coin, struck on a planchet that had a large lamination. I would pay more than $10 for that coin - I think to the right collector, that is a $20 coin.... I bet it would even get more on ebay, errors seem to be hot right now...
