CoinHunter27 Pillar of the Community United States 5887 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 12:07 am Found this in a wheat bag a while ago. Never got around to posting about it. I think it's a lamination pre-strike, because the mint mark is raised above it? What puzzles me is that fragment left in the middle between the bust and the date. Is this a LAM? -CH27 Collector of U.S. Coins, Varieties, and Colonial Coinage Edited by CoinHunter27 11/17/2019 12:07 am Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 04:18 am It's definitely a lam in my book. It may be a pre-strike lam, but only because it includes what seems to be a normal mintmark.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/17/2019 1:45 pm But if it were a pre-strike lamination, the design would be on the peeled area and would just weak struck. I feel this is not a pre-strike lamination by a post lamination peel. The reason the mintmark is will there, the strike forced the devices to hold in place that area of the peel, but peel on either side of the mintmark. But still a great error. (Being a wheat increases the value more than on a Memorial cent. Report this Post to the Staff
