Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 05:42 am May just be me, I see it raised? If so, it is a struck through debris, piece of metal shaving was caught in die and got pressed on coin. Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 09:55 am Bate, is that raised or incuse? I agree with Crazy0 and kanga, the lighting makes it appear raised. Doesn't appear to be lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
Bate Pillar of the Community United States 1937 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 11:22 am It incuse..at the time I didn't know what is it I peeled off the metal piece on top that why you see the corner folded ..lol..but I keep it until today and look through my wheat again... Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 2:05 pm Even if it were a struck through foreign material it would not be raised above the normal surface of the coin . The tons of pressure and flow of metal during a strike would make whatever inclusion on the planchet conform to the contours of the design. Nice lam !

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 2:09 pm So Bate, what you are saying is you peeled off the portion that left the indention? That my friend is a piece of STRUCK through DEBRIS, not an actual lamination flaw of the planchet. It is still a mint struck error, just not a lamination. Laminations, rather DE-laminations are the product of alloys failing to mix and anneal properly. What I should have been more clear before as Stoneman pointed out, the loose piece would have been pressed level with the design, but in circulation begin to lift off or as you did, pull off leaving an indention the shape of the piece of compressed debris.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 2:19 pm The best way to determine the difference between a coin that lost metal from its original planchet and one that shed foreign material would be to weigh the coin , though if the loss is minimal the results may not be conclusive Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/25/2018 2:42 pm It is probably raised on the one area, because the lam peel folded over there. Report this Post to the Staff
