sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 9:39 pm There are some dents or missing bits to Lincoln and a crack which appears to be under the date and mint mark. Close up on the date and reverse side of date. Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7035 Posts	Posted 05/24/2020 11:28 pm Actually you have 2 areas of a lamination error on this coin, the second one which involves the 1 and travels west/north is much larger but more securely attached.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/25/2020 03:47 am I would like it was a struck through a piece of debris. But it maybe a lamination if if flowed longer in a specific direction. But just not seeing that on the fields and devices on that area. Looks too square to be a lamination. Lamination debris are rolled onto the stock material and makes them longer in a direction. Just not seeing this on this coin. Also the location is odd. Lamination issues tend to be loosened during the setup process. Struck through are often placed more away from the edge. but can wrap over an edge of a coin because of being struck onto the coin during the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
