Jeff75645 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 06:14 am Found this today while searching through some new halves. Is this considered an cracked planchett? It goes all the way from the top of the coin through the eagle to the bottom of the coin. And it was also struck through something. I thought it was a nice find Edited by Jeff75645 05/20/2020 06:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 06:24 am Might be a lamination? John1 Report this Post to the Staff

SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 09:21 am Looks like a small piece of tape stuck to the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 09:41 am Jeff75645, Your pics look like screenshots,are they? Hard to make out what is truly there using that method. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7042 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 10:34 am I agree with SamCoin...most likely tape and residue Report this Post to the Staff
Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7512 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 10:42 am A clear,focused,shot of the entire coin( both,obverse and reverse) is needed. Your screen shots are too distorted to draw any conclusion, it maybe a Lam and or it maybe residue of a foreign substance as mentioned Report this Post to the Staff

Jeff75645 Valued Member United States 51 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 7:00 pm So depending on the grade of the coin does it add or take away value with the lamination error? Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 7:03 pm Grade is irrelevant is it's AU. It may bring a few bucks in premium, but don't expect to retire. Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 05/20/2020 8:14 pm I'm in the lamination column. I've seen many 64 Kennedy's. A lamination on one of these is not common. Could we see the entire coin Obv and Rev please. Report this Post to the Staff
