tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 08:24 am A woody is much less striking on an uncirculated coin, but still can create some neat toning colors and the usual lamination peels. Most collectors do not want errors on their coins, just a clean example of the coin, but I tend to like a good variety/error coin so picked this one up. It was listed as a planchet error and the DDO-001 part wasn't noted. 1945-S Lincoln Wheat cent doubled die DDO-001 - lamination Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 09:11 am Great lam for sure and a beautiful coin. Wouldn't have guessed it was a woody, but I'll take your word for it. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 09:24 am It was laminated before strike so can be considered an incomplete planchet as well ! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 10:04 am If it were a lamination before the strike, the '5' would be complete. But it is not complete, so it peeled after the strike. Note the devices are all the same as the missing cladding was gone before the strike. Clading that came off after the strike leaves a ghost image on the strike. Same for a lamination. The part that came off, had the missing partial '5'. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 10:08 am Coop , the weak opposing rim says it was laminated before strike Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 10:24 am A good point. So is part of the lamination folded over the East side of the '5'? Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 10:57 am Not folded over the 5. Here are some close ups from two different lighting angles. Report this Post to the Staff
stoneman227 Pillar of the Community United States 2376 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 11:11 am The 5 does show a sloped weakness as it approaches the laminated area. Seems typical of an incomplete planchet Report this Post to the Staff

seanqueue Valued Member United States 59 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 11:33 am Great coin. I collect varieties on incomplete planchets, let me know if you get tired of looking at that one. Sean Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 11:37 am The last image shows what I needed to see. It looks like the planchet had a lamination issue before the strike, but is still continuing to peel after the strike. Note the ghost outline of the '5'. Thanks for the extra images. They explained a lot more. Detective work is never done at first glance, sometimes. An example of my theory. That when blanks are turned into a planchet, the setup up process can loosen any laminations. On this one part of the lamination fell off before the strike. But after the strike the lamination continues to peel. Edited by coop 03/05/2019 1:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
tropicalbats Pillar of the Community United States 6116 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 1:20 pm Coop, you have been busy! Nice graphic. And sorry Sean, but this one is a DDO-001 in nice shape so enters the DDO-001 collection and probably won't exit for many years. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 1:46 pm Just for clarification. This is a question, not a comment on what is present. This is a lamination because, the missing part of the planchet. If this were a Cud, the area would be raised ? Dan Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74707 Posts	Posted 03/05/2019 2:07 pm Panther, that's correct. A Cud would be raised above the surfaces. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
