 to the CCF! It's a little hard to make out but looks as if it may be a lamentation issue. |

I thought the same at first, however. If you look to the left of that raised area and it is raised by the way. It does not come off the plant. And on the left there under the end. I think it is. You can see another part of the strike that's raised up. I think like I said, I'm looking for expert opinion here.

I agree. It is a lamination issue. How can we tell? Laminations most often flow in a straight line. The coin should be a bit short of 3.11 grams if some of the lamination has peeled off. If not, then it should be in that range.
If the coin is a bit heavier, then I would wonder if this was a struck through debris issue. But because the area in question is fairly straight, then I feel it is a lamination issue.

I agree lamination. In future posts,please remove coins from 2x2. Post obverse and reverse along with any needed close ups. John1  |

Oprah clarification is absolutely 311 8 I think it is and it is definitely a raised area not a recessed different layer of coin. And I'm definitely not arguing with you. Just trying to clarify the description. Personally in looking at it but not being really experienced when I Expected it closely. The area is absolutely raised at one point. I thought an edge you could actually see under it, but you can't it's something underneath it looks like I saved a photo of a similar. Coin let me post it. In comparison to mine and maybe it would help identify it. I'm also going to be posting here shortly a 1904 Indian head that on the reverse side Has an issue that I haven't been able to find. Thank you all for your input.

Well on the devices on ONE? It looks like it has peeled off from that area? It may have peeled off the area I mention and folded over on top of the building, still attached to the coin on that area.

I think everybody for their input. Because I don't know in your guy's opinion. Is this the type of coin that I should spend the money to have it graded? Because if these are marketable, I do want to be able to sell them.

No. These would have a value in the about one dollar range. It would cost you up to 50X that much to have them graded. Not worth it.

Okay, this is the one that I saw online that looks similar to mine.  |

What you're seeing in you cent is nothing like the pic you just posted. For what you're seeing on your cent to be double struck like the one in the pic you just posted the Memorial would have to be centered. Your cent shows no centering of what you're seeing. Lamination doesn't always lays flat, the edges can raise up over time from circulation.

I must have been faint in my description of this coin that little squared area that is depicted has no openings on it whatsoever. It absolutely looks like there is something underneath it. But maintains the same pattern as the other but it's in that square pattern, but it is fully stamped onto that coin. It's not something that's coming loose. The pictures might not show it justice. I can see if I have some others. I'm not saying that there's not something underneath it raising it up, but it clearly is stamped through the Lincoln Memorial through the edges of it with no. There's no interior exposure on that coin or else there would be massive Rod rust or whatever anyway I think what you're seeing is just highlights on some of the edges as it rolls over the design. And I do believe if you look at the obverse in that area. There is some discoloring probably from a heat. Love a broken or some type of a stamp error. Then this is just kind of trying to use my understanding of stamping which is probably a lot less than what you guys have. So again, I appreciate your responses. Most importantly the one that said don't grade that coin because it's only worth a dollar or two.

I hope I'm not just being a young enthusiasts but I remember now if you look at the the highlighted raised area if you go all the way along that to the left and to the right to the edges of the coin. You will see also a faint line that hasn't formed fully yet. That's the whole size of the Lincoln Memorial. Which is kind of odd. My girlfriend had pointed that out to me and you can see the line starting to form away from the raised area that is prominent at this point. I forgot to mention that my description and I thought that might have been one of the reasons. I thought it was. Suitable for die or whatever.

Whew! That was a lot to take in! @DCD- I've come to find out that these guys are 99.9% correct with their diagnosis of a coins issues. At least in my case anyway. |

I agree with the others, just a lamination error, definitely not double struck. Also, |
