I think I'm having too much fun here, value or not these errors are exciting to find...   D over D? don't know if it is or exists or not:  Peeling between the "trust" and the year...  Peel was smashed down on the rim...looks at the cracks too.

That is pretty cool. I don't know about the D/D but the lamination peel looks legit. The coin looks to be high grade AU or possibly low grade BU. The reverse appears to have a strike through area or another portion that peeled away in AMERICA.

Don't think it's an RPM and the LAM looks odd to me. Never seen the edges on a LAM so straight. Coop? John1  |

Looks like some copper was struck onto the coin a struck through. You can see where it is peeling off on the upper area. Also you can see it as a seam on the rim. So this looks like something struck onto the coin during the strike. Also it looks like a portion below this has already fallen off. As far as a RPM I would need a closer shot of the mint mark area. I suspect it is Die Deterioration as it is on the side toward the rim. But a closer shot might show me more of what you are seeing? Edited by coop

I can tell definitively actually holding the coin the lower portion of the "peel" is in fact the once upper portion removed. Quite interesting. I'll try another pic of the mint mark...it's tricky with what I've got. Thanks and really appreciate the input and sharing! AMB

When you try to take your next images, you might try diffusing your light source to remove glare. Too much light and glare is not a good thing. You can diffuse you images making a curtain of plastic grocery bags/white bond paper/tracing paper/rice paper to remove the glare. You will like your images more when the glare is gone. Also the images should be in the 600-1000 wide Pixel range to show more detail. Then we can see what you have going on with your coin.

What about the spot on the reverse in AMERICA? Can you take some close ups of it?

Definitely looks like a peel that fell away on the reverse. This is a nice high grade coin w/ doubled sided errors!
awesome Find!!
Do you have a BU roll of 36-D cents? That coin sure looks BU.

This one not out of a roll of 36's...it was actually in my penny book...that for years I never explored for errors. I stopped collectIng back in 85 and now have a new interest. I've got tons that I put away and now going through. Fun finding errors...just not up to date with them, hence this forum is great for me.

Well the last image posted changes my decision on the struck through metal answer. It is a lamination peel. Thanks for the second look. The Mint mark also looks like a normal one, not a RPM. Thanks.

The reverse maybe a lamination. Not as nice as the obverse one.
