@777, with this amount of circulation wear, it is a little hard to tell, but yes it looks to me like you've got some lams in there among the nicks and gouges.

Wow! This is the first time that I may have made the correct ID of an error. Thank you so much. I also keep seeing what appears to be golden letters on his shoulder. Does anybody else see that? If so, what could it be.

Nice find on the lam and nailing the attribution! The lighter, "golden color", is a slight wood grain effect, that will occur sometimes, in conjunction with lams. You can see a lighter version of it throughout the obverse and reverse. Scroll down to the very last pic and description. Error-Ref https://www.error-ref.com/improper-alloy-mix/-makecents-

Weight? It looks like some devices on the obverse areas of lamination. If heavier, I was wondering if it was struck through a split off from the previous coin? If the weight is slightly less, then it might just be a lamination.

The stripes going across the shoulder are another lamination, it just hasn't peeled yet. Nice ones on the rev also.

This it is not "Lam" what you say. On Reverse under the right wheat we have a strike over exfoliated debris. On the reverse we have two points: 1. Under chin probably an die crack and 2. The missing parts of the surfaces it is a separation of the material due to the manipulations and aging coins.
So, how could be categorize this coin? strike over debris, aging coin material (bronze) and die crack.

I decided to add a couple of better photos to help those that want to comment on what is going on with this coin. I hope this helps because I really would like to know if this is lamination, die crack, basic aging or just damage.

Silvoisi, what you are calling an exfoliant in layman's terms a lamination? I'm a layman and these have been called laminations for years. Everything on this coin is laminations. They go straight across the coin. You can see how the metal didn't get mixed properly, which could have been temp difference or what I call slag, impurities in the molten metal.

Everyone needs to stop with this " no mint mark" crap. When US cents have no mint mark that means the coin was minted in Philadelphia. Basic Coin Collecting 101. Gee whiz.  |

... this one looks like lamination to me but I am so new to this that I just don't know. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
