Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 09/02/2016 10:55 pm Please take a look at this coin and tell me if you think it is an extreme lamination problem or if it is some form of PSD/PMD. The surface has flaked of in several layers, almost as if the whole obverse is peeling away. I have never seen a lamination error to this degree which led me to believe it was PSD/PMD except the reverse is almost pristine. I sure would appreciate any help or opinions on this one, thank you!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2016 11:13 pm Looks like a struck through of debris off another planchet. Can you weight it? It should be heavier if it is that. I would like to see a closer shot of 'TRUST'. Edited by coop 09/02/2016 11:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Sudz Pillar of the Community United States 1572 Posts	Posted 09/02/2016 11:31 pm Weight is 2.9g. Here is a close up of "TRUST" as requested. Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 09/03/2016 12:45 am Looks like a lam to me. I'd love to find one that big. Don't know why, but I've always liked laminations. They are what started me into errors and varieties a long time ago. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 09/03/2016 01:39 am I would have said Lam too. It sure is heavy. Edit: Of course you're right Cwb. I was thinking of the Zincolns 2.5 gr. It's actually a little light. Edited by CoinMasters 09/03/2016 9:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
cwb Pillar of the Community United States 3463 Posts	Posted 09/03/2016 01:44 am At 2.9 grams, it's not heavy. The normal weight for a Copper cent is 3.11 grams. Has to be some kind of planchet error. Pretty sweet looking coin! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/03/2016 09:55 am It is a lamination error, but I'm still leaning towards the struck through a very thin layer of a previous split off planchet. It looks like it was kept from circulation for most/all of its life. The reverse looks very nice. Report this Post to the Staff
