kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 08:28 am IMO it's the result of die damage. Something got in the way of an earlier strike (strike through) and damaged the die. Then that damage carried on through subsequent strikes which is what this is. Report this Post to the Staff

If it were die damage, the transferred damage would be raised, not incuse. I'm on the fence with this one, but I'm leaning towards damage. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 10:49 am On the "T", that is a die chip. The steps look like a lamination, but a full image of the coin would be helpful. In the bay, there might be a piece of the lamination in that bay? Probably not a premium coin because of the circulation. The lamination is minor, but draws a lot of attention to itself with all that going on in one area. If I were to guess a date, I would think it is a 1960-D small date? The die chip like what you see on the "T" were common that year. Edited by coop 01/04/2015 10:51 am Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 2:36 pm Looks like a lamination as the area under the peel is showing the devices shaped but weak in that area. If it were a struck through error, then it would not have these visible, just the struck through shape itself. Report this Post to the Staff

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 2:47 pm That is cool. Even though the coin isn't in the best shape, for extra premium, but I will take it. Thanks Coop. Report this Post to the Staff
