Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 2:07 pm I say lamination error also. Nice straight line. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 2:25 pm The metal may have had a bit of contaminated metal. (something other than copper) then after the strike it may have fallen out of the planchet later. It is not damage. But something made its escape after the coin was struck.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 3:04 pm If you looked closer to the areas that haven't peeled out yet in the straight line, that might tell us more about what was there. (The strike make those area stay longer. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 10/27/2018 8:00 pm @Myminely22, your pics are fine and the new ones are really nice. Most of the laminations that we see here aren't this thin nor this straight-edged, but I agree that it doesn't really look like damage. I'd probably save this cent in a 2x2.

stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 10/28/2018 7:18 pm Definitely a lam even if oddly strait. The anomaly follows the "grain" of the coin metal that was left when the rollers produced the sheet stock for the blanks Report this Post to the Staff
