Keith67 Pillar of the Community United States 6595 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 4:39 pm I have a couple questions about this coin. First question is what grade would you give it? Second question is LAM or damage? I feel the one at 7 o'clock is a retained lam, but sure sure about the one at 2 o'clock. Whatcha think? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 5:16 pm I would grade it VF-35. The K7 disturbance is definitely a lam, the K2 disturbance looks more like a hit to my eye. Edited by Coinfrog 01/07/2019 5:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 01/07/2019 9:46 pm Both defects are flipover lamination flaws in my humble opinion. Note the odd weak denticles at K7 and compare to the "double denticle" rim at K2. This indicates it is also mis-struck (out of collar or MAD) and the reverse variation in rim thickness would seem to confirm such a diagnosis. Gradewise, VF25 details. The obverse is stronger than the reverse but the coin as a whole is not struck up very sharply due to the above errors as well as die wear.
