Alwayswonder New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 12/29/2018 10:00 pm Hi guys . I've had this penny for years but I'm just getting around to really looking through the collection . So is this a split planchet or lamination , or as my last coin posted , nothing at all ? Thank you for helping . Report this Post to the Staff

Alwayswonder New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 12:13 am Hi silverdollar . Thank you for helping me . I've had most of these pennies forever and only recently started looking through them . I've always loved coins and collecting but never took the time to learn about collecting . I have my own opinions on them from my research but still unsure on what's what . Having said all that , from me and lots of other newbies , we thank you guys for the help and teaching us .

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 11:38 am The obverse looks like a stain. If it were a lamination, the surface would be lower in that area and the devices would be weaker. But I'm not seeing that on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
Alwayswonder New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 9:27 pm Hi Coop . I've posted a few more photos hoping to get a better shot of the dark spot on obverse . Afraid this is as good as I can get but I hope it shows more detail . I'm no expert but I can see the difference in the copper and what's missing creating the error . I don't think it's a stain .

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 10:17 pm That maybe a lamination as well then. Report this Post to the Staff
Alwayswonder New Member United States 22 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 10:57 pm . I wish I could get a better angle to show it . I double checked with my loop and can see the copper edge ever so slightly bent upward . Thank you for taking another look and giving a second opinion . I have a few more to post and look forward in getting your opinion on them as well . Have a good evening Report this Post to the Staff
