Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 5:25 pm Hello Everyone, I have this 1980 P penny that I thought was kind of odd. There is something between the middle columns where the Lincoln statue is. Your thoughts on this would be fantastic! Thank you in advance and of course let me know if you need a different picture Report this Post to the Staff

Evan7 Pillar of the Community United States 1070 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 5:38 pm Don't see doubling on reverse, but IGWT looks thick to me (I don't know it might be normal) compared to Liberty Report this Post to the Staff
Jim0815 Pillar of the Community United States 5239 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 5:42 pm It looks like a lamination issue but the mark on the steps leading up to the area in question may mean it took a hit. Could you take a good clear closeup pic of the area in question? Report this Post to the Staff
Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 6:02 pm I hope this helps! It doesn't seem to go into the coin like the scratch on the stairs does. Almost like it is sitting on top of the original coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 6:03 pm Looks like a small lam to me as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 9:46 pm Yes I think that the frog nailed it. By the way @vivian410, really nice job there posting the close-up pic to show the area of interest.

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7068 Posts	Posted 06/26/2019 10:43 pm Can we also take into account that it might be a struck through debris? looks like it also continues onto column #6 and bay #5... Just weighing out 2 options..IMO Report this Post to the Staff
Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 06/28/2019 5:04 pm Oh cool! I have never found a lamination error (even if it is small). @Spencer thanks, I was definitely trying to do my best with that! @Greasy Fingers what do you think it would have been struck through? When I saw it I was thinking it could be one of the two. I wasn't sure. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7068 Posts	Posted 06/28/2019 9:48 pm "struck through"normally with a small flake of copper (debris) Report this Post to the Staff
Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 06/29/2019 4:05 pm @greasy fingers That is what I thought it looked like! A flake of copper. Report this Post to the Staff
Vivian410 Valued Member United States 119 Posts	Posted 06/29/2019 4:06 pm Oh and on another note I didn't notice it at first but it appears to be rotated too! Report this Post to the Staff
