Dearborn Moderator United States 95630 Posts	Posted 08/22/2021 9:37 pm First coin is a huge Lamination error. very nice! Second does look like a broadstrike. Collecting since 1972.

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/22/2021 9:40 pm to the CCF! It's best to post only one coin per topic. It make it easier to follow the replies. The first coin looks like a Lamination, and a good one. The condition of the coin will decrease the value, but it's a keeper. Let's see what an expert on laminations thinks. The second coin looks like it was damaged, not a broadstrike. When a coin is pressed into a bezel or enclosure, it can damage and flatten the rims like this. No extra value, Post Mint Damage.

sheldius Pillar of the Community United States 1204 Posts	Posted 08/22/2021 9:41 pm Nice lamination on the first coin. The second coin is a beveled / Encased Coin. The areas of the coin have been removed to fit in a case (edge cuts the L and is very close to the 2). Coin has since been removed and spent again. Report this Post to the Staff

Bubbachismo New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 5:07 pm So I guess I'm confused on the die-break/lamination error. I can still see the left wheat ear and the "c&e" of cents. would that still be possible for a lamination error? Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34401 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 5:51 pm Ok thx for posting the diameter. Looks to be right about at 19 mm, which is what it should be. If it was broadstruck, then I'd expect I larger diameter. I think that the folks who called it as being an encased/damaged cent must be correct.

Bubbachismo New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 08/23/2021 5:57 pm yeah its just barely over 19, like 19.5, I'm sure that could happen during encapsulation. Fun find non the less..thanks Everyone Report this Post to the Staff
