Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74915 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 12:44 am Very nice find and congratulations! I'm thinking it might be Struck Through Copper Foil maybe (get the weight of your coin, if you can, so we can rule out, if it's a Delamination or not). As far as grading goes, I think it's in Extremely Fine condition (remember everyone, I'm not an expert at grading, so correct me, if you need to). http://www.lincolncentresource.com/...g_Guide.html Errers and Varietys.

I agree that one of those regions sure looks like a separate sheet of copper, but not sure how often that happened on these.

CoinCents Pillar of the Community United States 3656 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 09:13 am That is interesting, would make sense that the ON actually is a struck through and the area effected by the E is the LAM - Great Find! Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 09:14 am Might be that one is a lam and the other struck through. Weight will confirm. Nice find! Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 09:31 am Weight is 3.10. Looks pretty straightforward in hand: parallel lamination cracks in the NE, a lamination peel at an oblique angle to the cracks across the ON, and a lost lamination peel under the E (same angle as the ON peel). What caught my attention was the odd angles between the peel and the cracks. The peel across the ON is slightly offset on the left side, but probably not enough to call it struck through as it appears to still be attached at the far right. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74915 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 12:25 pm Since the weight is normal, it would be a Lamination error. Coop said that Struck Through Debris error would make the coin weigh slightly more (it would be slightly heavier in weight). Errers and Varietys.
