So what is that then between the 1 and the 9? I think it might be a lamination error that peeled and was struck through because, although it's hard to see in the photos, there appears to be the beginnings of a lamination problem going north as far as Abe's chin and possibly below the 1 as well. What does everyone else think? Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/09/2019 8:44 pm I took a second look and I believe that is a lamination peel/debris from off the top of the one that folded over. Note the 1 is missing metal on that area. Kind of a comb over. LOL Note the bottom of the peel is thicker. So it moved during circulation.
