It looks 3D but it could just be surface dirt. Please let me know what you think. The reverse looks like the lamination peeled off of the N and just flapped over next to it. Would you agree? Thank you for your time. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/23/2021 09:22 am On some areas it looks like something on the coin. Liberty and in front of the face. Looks like a form of glue. On the edge near 'UST' it looks like a bit of debris that wraps around the rim and edge area. The reverse is showing a lamination on the central area. This coin has been around quite a while.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19195 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 5:22 pm Give the coin a soak in pure acetone--does wonders with glue-like substances. Will not harm the coin--it's a common practice in numismatics. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 6:32 pm By the LAM rules you posted in another thread: http://goccf.com/t/395801#3389919 I would not expect it to be an exact straight line if the metals were not mixed evenly or some of the other reasons stated in the above post. I think this coin took a straight linear hit by an object that started by the lower right side of the 'N' with a light hit then bounced and then dug out the N at the top then causing the top layer of the coin to separate (like what a chisel would do to wood), freed itself and landing once again on the 'O' of the ONE then losing contact with the coin entirely. that is what I think. Why else would all that damage be so arrow straight like that (see photo below as I marked out the path of the LAM. Please don't burn me at the stake for my observation. - this is my way of learning and getting my thoughts in line with what happened. Collecting since 1972.

Oldfordman Pillar of the Community United States 2869 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 8:42 pm I agree with Dearborn. If you look close enough you can see the continuous damage past Dearborns lines on the photo. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 03/27/2021 9:06 pm Huh!, thanks folks. Maybe I am getting a handle on this. As a Commercial Construction Project Manager, I examine everything to try to find a cause and effect of things. Why they break, how they are assembled and such. I just can't turn that off.
