 Interesting lam. What my eyes think they see is something better left to an experts diagnosis or explanation. Thanks, Doug. |

It is different. Almost looks like a letter mixed in there.

Could that be a pre strike lam with a retained strike through of a piece of the lamination?

I have no idea what it is. Is it possible that a feeder finger or whatever it's call got caught between the dies and broke off ?

Looks like the lower de-lam was struck under the other, pretty cool.

Lets see the full reverse. Maybe a scrap was struck over a lamination on that area? Looks like something is feathering out on the rim?

I'm thinking it's just a strangely shaped lamination from a strangely shaped impurity in the metal. It looks like the part below the red line...  ...peeled off after the strike while the rest was retained, since you can still see a faint outline of the bottom line of the E. Still, that doesn't explain the weakness in the M- perhaps that's because there isn't as much support under the lamination peel, so it had trouble filling the die? I'm just speculating here.

Is there a line/lamination to the right of the 'T' on CENT to the rim area. (I don't see one) With the new images you can see the 'M' On UNUM has a ghost appearance where there was a peeling off on the left half of the 'M'. It may be just a strange lamination?

There is no line/lamination to the right of the 'T'. I probably should stick with varieties, but errors are kind of fascinating. I appreciate everybody looking at it and the help trying to figure out what it is. It does look like a lamination and strange in the fact that it looks like a couple of layers. It looks neat whatever it is.

It's just a lamination error. Separation of delaminating metal layers can take place at several levels.
Error coin writer and researcher.

Thank you. It is a pretty neat one. After a few hours of trying to figure it out, I finally quit staring at it. Thanks for all your help guys.

Definitely a strange one. A strange one indeed. A strange error.
