SilverStackerKid Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 12:39 pm I dont think it is lamination because I thought there would be more cracks in a lamination error, And because of the other damage around the coin, I think it is PMD. But I am NO expert. Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 12:43 pm Thanks SilverStacker - there are a few digs on the fromt/reverse rims, but nothing on the reverse field adjacent to the area in question. The digs also look newer to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Dave42 Pillar of the Community United States 571 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 4:11 pm Looks like an old worn lamination to me. It seems that a piece of the lamination fell off years ago, and time has made the area where it fell out smoother. The rim ding could have happened anytime during the last 84 years this coin has been floating around. Dave Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 4:17 pm I agree with Dave42 on this one. If the missing area was just a gouge on the coin, why would there be an area in the center that was still present. I don't see how this could happen if it were damaged? Report this Post to the Staff
Rackster Pillar of the Community United States 4809 Posts	Posted 09/14/2014 7:32 pm Thanks for the input folks. I've had this coin for decades. I remember finding it and thinking an old damaged coin. But I came across it today and took a second look - felt it was old worn lamination. It'll get a flip and a label now. Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
