Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/04/2018 11:49 pm Because of the way it "flows" over the R, I suspect it is a clear glue. Soak it overnight in acetone and see if it dissolves or lifts off. Some may say a struck thru, but the ragged edge and then adhered edge belies a struck through event. Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 12:15 am Is it a peel of sorts, or is it solid like the rest of the coin?

NewMember Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 12:26 am Looks like maybe a thin layer was scraped/pushed then pressed? Report this Post to the Staff

NewMember Valued Member United States 274 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 12:46 am That was actually my first thought. But this isn't laminated, correct? A lamination error would, by definition, be an error in a laminate? Or, an error that would cause a thin layer of material to be pushed and/or moved/removed, itself, causing a lamination? I don't know... Report this Post to the Staff
999fine Pillar of the Community United States 1346 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 12:58 am I think the "lamination error" refers to peeling of metal caused by improper alloy mixing prior to the rolling of the sheet of metal. This is "common" in wheat cents from the earliest times when "pure" copper was used. You might want to do a "Lamination" search in the CCF glossary of terms. An ebay search in coins of "Lamination" should provide numerous dramatic examples. Report this Post to the Staff

da Swampster Valued Member United States 420 Posts	Posted 05/05/2018 12:04 pm Oh for want of better photos.. I think there are multiple events.. Does anyone else see the "C" as having a die crack..? -- that then runs off to the right and to the rim..? Also, what happened to the upper-middle horiz of the "R" and lower-middle of the "I", "C" and maybe "A" as well..? As much as I'd like the "R" to have allowed metal bleed to the top, I don't think that's what happened.. Then some sort of rolled fold (pushed / pressed) along with extra metal or scrap strike through..? More..? There's a lot going on in that small area.. Beyond my scope...
