shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 12/19/2020 02:00 am So is this coin presenting characteristics of a lamination error and therefore a mint error? Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 12/19/2020 03:42 am It's tough to tell. I think the shield does have a ding in it, but there may be some lam business going on, too. It would be fairly insignificant if so.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/19/2020 10:34 am I suspect it may be a strikethrough, not a lamination Report this Post to the Staff
kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 12/19/2020 2:25 pm Strike-through then retained? I see a depression to the left, then a chunk of raised metal to the right whose left edge vaguely matches the edge of the depression. Also a strike-through below, NW of the date.

shantiom Pillar of the Community United States 522 Posts	Posted 12/19/2020 9:10 pm Does a strike through here mean there was debris on the coin striking the lamination and it was retained or is the piece on the coin the actual material, unlikely probably since the debris looks like a match for the gouged area in the shield?
