sgarten Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 08:01 am It was marketed as a strike-through error. It does look like the imperfection is impressed in the metal, so that makes sense to me...but I'm no expert. I know there are some experts on here, so I'd like to know what they have to say. Also...do you all think I should send it in for encapsulation/grading? Report this Post to the Staff

sgarten Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 11:36 am Just so I can learn...what makes you guys say lamination versus strike through? I've read definitions and all, but I'd like to hear what you key on when looking at either to decide which is which. Thanks! You guys are great! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/01/2015 11:38 am A struck through obliterates the design during the strike through. A lamination will show the ghost image when the layer peels off. That is what I'm seeing on your coin. Thus it is a lamination. Edited by coop 10/01/2015 11:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
