coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 10:48 am Looks incuse? If it is, then it is a coin scratch. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 10:52 am I think it is more of a woody than a LAM. And the scratch takes away any collectability. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 10:57 am My term for a coin like this is "incipient lamination". You can see it starting all over the obverse, (my old grandad would say "It's fixin' to peel"), but it just never quite happened. Don't think you can call it a retained lam until after something has come off and then hung around. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19171 Posts	Posted 09/02/2021 11:32 am Interesting. Scratch or odd die crack? Emerging lamination issues, likely associated with woody-like planchet composition. Likely cleaned in days long past. Report this Post to the Staff
