bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 03/02/2008 9:29 pm I found this in a roll last night. What do you think, damage or lamination? My first thought was damage but the way the date sinks into the hole makes me think otherwise. The reverse looks normal. Report this Post to the Staff

NGiles Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 03/02/2008 9:49 pm I would guess lamination, but I am not an expert in that area. It doesn't look like a normal scrape to me. I would think that if something hit it hard enough to do that damage on the obverse, it would cause some sort of distortion on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/02/2008 11:02 pm It appears more to me as a strike through error would appear. The close-up of the area in question does not have the rough appearance that you would expect to see with a lamination error. Although distorted, the metal still flowed into that space. It does not look as though metal was peeled from that spot. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
