MorgansRmine Pillar of the Community United States 1219 Posts	Posted 07/01/2008 09:23 am Amac, what I'm looking at is the top of 7 seems to be eaten away. 9 shows some corrosion. Field around 8 shows corrosion. This shouldn't happen if lamination was missing was on blank planchet prior to striking. But I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff
foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 07/01/2008 1:04 pm Amac...It's corrosion. There are other spots along the rim at the motto that are also showing early signs of corrosion. It's not a lamination error of any kind. When the surface of the coin corrodes, it can corrode in such a way that it looks like layering along the edge of the void on the surface. The coin is what I call a One cent , cent...
