I'm not sure it's a Lam, could very well be, but I noticed this ding on reverse just opposite and question if it could have been a Hit?  Notice how rim on either side of arrow seems indented...?  |

The peel started well up on the shoulder and flipped toward the rim.

Maybe both a hit and a lamination error? The streak is consistent from the area on the shoulder across Lincoln's bust up to the field above the date. The area on the obverse rim looks funky to me though -- it could either be part of the lam, or it could be a hit. Easier to tell with coin in hand.

Thanks Aristarchus. I think it's a goodie too.
Druu, I think the hit on the rim is unrelated. The coin is definitely a lam, it's clear east of Lincoln. A lam often has straight edges like it is west of Lincoln it's also pretty much in line with the streak from the east. I'm unsure though. My experience with these is limited. Opinions more than welcome.

I'm thinking the retained lamination on the busts backside folded over after strike. The front side is typical straight line fashion. Don't think the contact marks played a roll in there development. I currently don't buy or sell so might check ebay or other venues for current value est. Thanks, Doug. |

Thanks everyone. I have heard enough, a retained lam it is! I will check out ebay to get an idea on the value. Tomorrow I'll post a rim to rim straight line lam with devices in it. By the way, does anyone know what this is?   |

That is a excellent Lamination CM, I didn't see this post earlier. I think you should get at least 40.00 for it. On top of the LAM and it being on the Obverse it is an "S" and it is in nice shape with good details on the wheat ears.
This second one is really kool and very interesting is it the size of the cent - possibly all copper? Looks like it came with a mint set of sorts.

Nice coin  looks like the lam runs in as straight of a line as possible across the bust. |

Thanks CC, PBP. I bought a collection on the cheap CC. The guy had collected by mint and date only. He passed away.I found the lam in one of his rolls. This cello "coin" was in the collection along with a D mint too. I'm pretty sure they're copper, I just don't know what they are. |

I am going to hunt around the Internet and see what I come up with. I am thinking it was a commemorative token piece that the mint produced and gave out with certain sets. It only has 13 stars on it and if you flip it up like we do our normal coins the reverse is actually upside down. This coin you need to flip side to side in order for the proper rotation on the reverse, what's up with that?

That's a medal/medallion flip. Canada does that with their coins.
I think so PBP.

Aren't those part of the special mint sets?
