Spence Moderator United States 34407 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 7:28 pm That could be @rh1--initially it looks like a massive delam. Any chance of you posting pics of this coin outside of the 2x2? Thx. Added: Sorry just to be clear, if it is a lam, then the planchet was defective (as opposed to the die as you mention the thread's title).

Spence Moderator United States 34407 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 8:33 pm OK thanks. It should be underweight, right? That sure looks like a delamination to me.

Rabbithole1 Pillar of the Community United States 520 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 8:47 pm What's the proper weight for this coin? When I took it out of the 2×2 I was surprised how thin and light it felt. Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/15/2019 9:30 pm That is a major delamination with the delamination occurring post strike. Unfortunately the coin has also suffered serious damage as well post strike. Report this Post to the Staff
