coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 10/18/2007 9:33 pm It's a die crack - they are common on early memorial cents. A lamination is a piece of metal that didn't stick to the other metal well, and wants to peel off after the coin is struck. Lamination does not follow the contours of the design, because it is a planchet flaw, not a die thing. Report this Post to the Staff

But the mint has to squeeze every Cent out of them as they can. (Pun intended) https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...E_CRACKS.jpg After they crack, they develope a chip and eventually a die break. The one pictured below remind me of "Eyers Rock" in Australia. LOL https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...of_CENTd.jpg It is the T on Cent on a wheat reverse.
