Willburton Pillar of the Community United States 2558 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 7:29 pm I got this in a lot of coins off ebay recently. I didn't buy it for this coin because I didn't think it was legit. The lot came with a few offcenter strikes and a few die chip wheats for $10. This one is labeled "struck on mechanically damaged planchet". I haven't looked into that but never heard of it either. What do y'all think? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 7:49 pm That is a lamination issue with the coin. It is legit. Note the ghost image under the 'Y'? That tells me it is not PSD. Edited by coop 10/07/2017 7:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 8:02 pm Hey coop, I agree it's lamination BUT how did that piece of metal get pushed to the left and still be retained? Would you consider a hit on the pre-strike planchet? Edited by Mark1959 10/07/2017 8:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 8:07 pm The circulation probably loosen it first on the bust, leaving it in place more on the fields with less contact because it is lower on the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 11:02 pm Nice lamination! It looks like that extra metal is the remaining part of the peel after it folded and broke off post-strike.
