CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 02:42 am Nice peeling effect with strip running from the G through the I & B in LIBERTY. The toning seems off and I am suspecting it was cleaned but I'm not sure. Thanks! "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 06:58 am Looks like a lamination peel error. There may have been something rolled in to the stock material, and after the strike it can off the coin. Edited by coop 10/14/2019 07:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 12:00 pm A "Peel" error you say? Any point to giving this coin an acetone dip or best to leave as is? Thanks!

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/14/2019 4:27 pm I'd leave it alone. The peel may fall off the coin and then look like damage. At least it shows a peel of a lamination issue. Not a big premium. Wheat lamination coins are more desirable. Report this Post to the Staff
Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 10/15/2019 2:46 pm Coop, when you say Wheat lamination coins are more desirable do you mean the reverse side lamination, or wheat LWC in general. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2736 Posts	Posted 10/16/2019 12:37 am Panther, I assumed he meant LWC in general. It would be interesting if there was an added premium for a particular side of the coin though. "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/16/2019 12:42 am No the prices are higher. The memorial ones are probably average less than a dollar in price. The wheat cents can be several times that value. (Seems more like the older planchets the metals were not mixed as well as the memorials. Also remember the Wheat cent woodies are an example of the poor mix of the metals. Report this Post to the Staff
