Hi,

I'm new to coin collecting and am learning a lot as I sift through an inherited coin collection of all denominations. I came across this 1941D as I was organizing the coins by decades. At first I thought it was a piece of tape or something. It was raised and I looked at it closely and saw that it was like a thin piece of metal was struck with the coin when it was made. I did a little research and learned about strike through errors. Is this one? I tried to scan it in close up. If so, how much would it add to the value?

Mike

If you are referring to the area on Jefferson's collar then I think what you might have is a small lamination. It's hard to tell from the photo.

To the forum.

This looks to be what is called a lamination error.
This is a defect in the metal composition of the planchet
which causes an area on the coin to be lifted up from the surface. This is a small one so not really much of a premium
if any on the coin. Some are larger and different shapes and some are lifted way off of the coin as well as they can become detached completely from it leaving a groove or trench on the coin. There are different terms used for these laminations so do a little searching on the forum for them if you like. Struck through errors as you may or may not already know somewhat about, are caused by some sort of foreign object or debris that was present on one of the dies
when the coin was struck. You can have an image of the object on the coin or even the object itself like say a staple or piece of wire etc. actually imbedded into the surface of the coin.

Yes, it's by the collar. You can see the piece goes up to his neck. So is it just an oddity? Nothing too special?

They are kind of scarce but not a rare find.
If the area is bigger and or peeling off it would
pay a few dollars to someone who collects them.
You may find them more on copper cents but other
coins also.
