If it was missing before the strike the reverse would have been affected by weakness opposite that area. The reverse looks normal. If the two pieces (the coin and the peel) had been saved in BU, the price would spectacular. Something like this one: A five figure coin. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 05:24 am Alas, that's not the case... Just a homely coin without its relative and not anywhere near BU. At least maybe it's an example of how a LAM would stand the weather of 100 years.

CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 6:49 pm a keeper. It's a large peeled lam and it's on a pretty old penny in not too bad a condition. Not sure what you were curious about concerning the rim. They look to me to be a little dinged and worn. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 6:58 pm The area above LIBERTY on the rim, just peeled off that area with the lamination peel. It is part of it and not damage other than the peel. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinMasters Pillar of the Community United States 5964 Posts	Posted 01/22/2017 7:38 pm Very well, thanks for the correction Coop. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 01/23/2017 01:21 am As far as the rim, it seemed unusual that the peel pretty much stopped there and left it almost entirely intact with no loss of thickness. That's the main reason I was unsure about this being a lamination error despite other clear identifiers. Thanks for your input guys and I will definitely be keeping it!
