Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 06/16/2015 10:43 am That's a huge retained lamination. I haven't seen it described or measured relative to the coin size before, so I don't know if it's done that way. The rest of the coin is damage and the lamination is the only one that can be explained by a planchet flaw. Report this Post to the Staff

Coin Scavenger Valued Member Canada 444 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 12:55 am Sorry I rushed the post. What I meant to ask was how many other marks can be attributed to the planchet? I believe that the mark through the ear is from a detached piece of the planchet. I also believe the hole in the rim and missing denticals could be planchet flaws. Thanks for the interest and responses. Report this Post to the Staff
robmck1967 Pillar of the Community Canada 870 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 11:06 am My guess is that the lamination caused this penny to get jammed in some sort of vending machine or parking meter which caused the damage along the rim. This may have led to the retained lamination being ripped off of the ear area. Just a possible scenario :) Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 06/17/2015 1:13 pm The holes in the rim and missing denticles don't look like planchet flaws to me. If the planchet was flawed, there would be weakness at the same place on both sides instead of just on one side. The mark through the ear and to the back of the neck might be a smaller lamination that peeled off. Report this Post to the Staff
