coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 12:13 pm I feel it was a lamination issue on your coin. It should be under weight a little. Note the weakness on UNUM? I feel the lamination fell out post strike. If the coin is close to normal weight, it may have been pre-strike, but I feel that is not the case because of the normal shape of the affected areas.

Kloccwork419 Pillar of the Community United States 1359 Posts	Posted 01/13/2021 11:25 am I think it fell out after the strike also. If it wasnt there during the strike, design on the reverse would be missing. Lamination with years and years of circulation. I've never seen one like it before. Nice one Report this Post to the Staff
