Waxemm Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 04/14/2014 09:44 am I know laminations normally run in a straight line. Is this lamination, or is something else going on? There are several breaks just above the head and you can see a tiny split on the edge of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
