As usual, I found this in a circulated bankroll from a bank box of U.S. Pennies. I actually thought this was glue at first, but I looked at it under my 10x loupe and it was clearly not glue and it was a Lamination error. I looked on the side and you can see the piece of metal lifting up. It's one of my best Lamination errors beside the one with a Pre-Strike Lamination error from 1940.
Thanks man. I don't need to bring it to a dealer. I have done enough research already and it's a Lamination error. Not really worth worth that much money. It has to be fairly big to be worth selling.
So that "Lam" is not really a lamination, a planchet flaw but a piece of errant garbage that was stamped on to the coin and part has come off leaving the indented area. See that David? Big difference, but neat nonetheless.
