coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/27/2014 02:06 am I agree. A lamination. It looks like it was there during the strike but broke away somewhere down the line. Note how straight the edge of the coin is? The collar shapped the planchet fully and then fell off the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 12/27/2014 12:26 pm Very interesting. I looked at the pics yesterday and found this one to be a puzzler. Because the coin is worn, I kind of figured it had to have taken a hit. Glad I was wrong. Very interesting coin. Report this Post to the Staff
srcliff Valued Member United States 453 Posts	Posted 12/27/2014 11:38 pm I would have written it off as damage but the fsct that it looks like there is a rim beneath the chip. Odd. Report this Post to the Staff
