coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:12 pm It looks like a struck through debris or a lamination. Can't tell as I would need a wider shot. The differences? On a lamination they tend to flow in a straight line, (Even at an angle) and a struck through debris could just affect a smaller area. But larger images might show us more?

bamajack1 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:40 pm I'm going to keep it but what would be a good guesstimate of what its worth? Any idea? Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/08/2020 9:43 pm A dollar or two. Depending on the year. A Memorial cent, about half a dollar. A hard sale though. On auctions unless they are BU, they are pretty much passed on. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7030 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 12:13 am Good example of why whole photos of the entire coin are needed...From your first photo, I really couldn't tell what you had (looked like PMD) then when you backed off the area and showed the whole coin...definitely a lamination error.. nice cent.. 2x2 worthy Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/09/2020 2:43 pm Did anyone catch my theory on what lamination peels? Read the tile I added above. Report this Post to the Staff
