That's dramatic! Excellent price, too.  P.S. Did you weigh it? Just in case... In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Not sure if the weight scale is correct, but it said 2.9 grams.

it said 2.9 grams. The reason I asked is I thought there was a possibility of lamination error as well. The large trough would be unusual for that but, does show some of the characteristics. The rim/date anomaly looks a lot more like a lam to me. The weakened reverse would suggest, if a lam, it peeled pre-strike. I'd like to hear what others have to say concerning that hypothesis.  It's still a cool coin and great buy either way! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

Thank you for that brilliant answer of yours. So it might possibly be 2 errors combined into one. I think you are right. It looks like a pre-strike Lamination error. It happened before the Struck Through. Then the Struck Through became the 2nd error. Makes it a great combo.

I would really like to see coop's evaluation of this coin. I don't think there is PMD involved but, whether struck-through, lamination or both is the question. In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I would love if Coop got involved and evaluated the coin. I was wondering if you can send him a message so he'll come out and give us his answer about the coin. If he likes it enough, he might put it in his learning files.

Lamination along the rim plus major struck-through would be my assessment as well, nice combo |

I've pondered this unique example for two days now. The three things that stick out is the lamination, the strike though and the weak rim opposite the strike through. Out of the three the reverse rim weakness has had me stumped the most. The weakness would imply a lack of opposing pressure needed to form that area on the reverse rim. I'm still undecided if the material causing the strike through fell in place at the time of strike or was it already present prior to strike. Meaning something foreign added during the time the material was rolled to thickness then punched into the blank. The blown up images make it seem huge. That said and note I'm only speculating, it could be as simple as a fingernail clipping going by the shape and size.

Thank you for your comment. Very interesting point. It could be a fingernail clipping.

What is the weight on this one? If the weight is normal, then it is a struck through. If it is lower than normal it might be a lamination. But it does appear to be a struck through error from what I can see. But the weight would be the clincher.

The weight scale said 3.0 grams. I'm using a AWS scale to weigh it.
