coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/15/2016 4:56 pm What is the weight? If it is normal with that void there, it might be a struck through debris that has peel off the coin. The the coin weight is light, then it might be a lamination. I doubt lamination as they tend to run in straight lines. So let me know the weight and we can go from there. Report this Post to the Staff

Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 12/16/2016 05:40 am Thank you! Obviously not a "retained lamination"! Is there a descriptive term for this? dropped lamination? unretained lamination? lost lamination? ? Edited by Pete2226 12/16/2016 05:42 am Report this Post to the Staff
Pete2226 Pillar of the Community United States 3330 Posts	Posted 12/16/2016 08:39 am I found an answer to my question. I think this would be called a dropped lamination. Perhaps it could be called a "dropped fragment" since a portion of the bust is also missing? http://www.PCGS.com/books/earlycents/Oops-001.aspx Edited by Pete2226 12/16/2016 08:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/16/2016 08:54 am That was my thought at first, but with the weight slightly less than normal that told me it the area in question is the missing weight. If this were a piece of struck debris, the weight would be 3.11 grams. So because it is less, then I figured it was just a peeled lamination that reduced the weight. But the shape of it looks more like a struck through debris. Report this Post to the Staff
