JTAC Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 10/03/2019 10:22 pm I see a die break filling the B in LIBERTY, and it looks to be at least a die break as well on the 5 with a possible shadow 5 offset. Is it an extra 5? Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7059 Posts	Posted 10/03/2019 11:59 pm The issue with the "B" we call it a broken post, and the date appears to have a small "struck through" error, where a small piece of copper foil was struck onto the coin. Die chips/broken post and other die issuses are very common for 50 era cent...they used the heck out of the dies before retireing them...good luck on future finds, have fun Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 10/04/2019 04:53 am A broken post for sure, but perhaps a small lamination rather than struck through foil on the date?

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/04/2019 09:42 am I lean toward Spence's theory. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74662 Posts	Posted 10/04/2019 09:48 am Not a Lamination error. It's not straight enough. I like Greasy Fingers's theory better. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34427 Posts	Posted 10/04/2019 10:19 am Fair enough. My thinking is that struck through copper foil would be much less prevalent in the days when cents were copper (as opposed to now, when they are copper plated). But that is just a working theory and I'd invite others to correct me if it is wrong.

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 10/04/2019 1:05 pm EV; Could you elaborate a bit on the not straight enough. I did not know that was a required factor in a Lamination error. Dan https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...3-ccfopt.jpg Edited by Panther 10/04/2019 1:13 pm Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/04/2019 1:31 pm Lamination on a solid planchet coins tend to flow in a straight line: Another event that happens is call struck through debris. This tends to be not in a straight direction. More often a piece of debris from another coin: So the difference again. A lamination issue is because the metal is rolled into shape, the metal is flattened to match the top of the blank. When going through the setup process (turning a blank into a planchet) the planchet lamination come off after the strike leaving a straight lamination peel. A struck through debris is something that was loose in the chamber and attached to the new coin. Can be in various shapes, but is usually smaller. So how can you tell the difference for sure? Weight. If the coin is under weight, then it is a lamination. It if is over weight, then it is a struck through debris. Not a large premium for most of these, but they get more interesting when they are larger. This one sold for five figures. CoopHome : Lamination VS Debris Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/06/2019 7:04 pm I feel it is a lamination issue. Keep in mind that rolling of the stock material can at times have some contaminant in the stock material. After striking it come loose from the coin. So I feel this one has to lamination issue on your coin. Report this Post to the Staff
