The irregular-shaped mass by the rim is raised so I am not sure how it could be a lamination error. It's almost as though there was an extra piece of metal on the planchet before it was minted. I've not seen this before. All opinions are appreciated, thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

But I think I see a lamination issue below the "Y & Star?" It may have peeled off and leaving the bottoms of the devices thinner? Report this Post to the Staff
