Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 02:06 am I found this one a few weeks ago and at first glance I thought it may be a die crack. But after further observation I've come to the conclusion that it's a lamination issue. And kind of a unique one. What are your thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 02:18 am I don't know for sure on this one. The area around IN looks a lot like a Retained Cud. I am primarily referencing the offset seen where the two ends of the "crack" meet the rim. I suppose that could also be the effect of a partially peeled lam, but yours doesn't seem to be peeling in any notable way.

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 02:37 am Stephan, I spent some time looking on Cuds on coins and couldn't find anything even remotely close which is why I'm thinking lamination. I did find a thread posted her in 2016 that looks closer than anything that I've been able to find. http://goccf.com/t/263207 Report this Post to the Staff

Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 8:58 pm Interesting observation E&V! . I didn't think about a strike through. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 79330 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 9:02 pm The reason why I said that is because Struck Through Copper Foil Scrap errors are very often and are easily confused with Lamination errors. Coop said that Lamination errors are in a fairly straight line. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
