Plating seems to be peeling.

Thanks Coinfrog. Looks like I was wrong again. I'm still learning to properly identify errors but I'm getting better

 This is the best peel on a plated coin that I've seen.

Thanks Cujohn. I thought it was a strong plating or planchet error for a zincoln also

Picked this up as a lamination for 5 bucks

IMHO the incuse part of the irregularity was on the coin prior to the copper plating being applied. If the plating came off in the incuse areas, wouldn't the zinc be exposed?
I'm in the camp of defective planchet before the plating.

Still a nice example of a plating peal. But, Pete brings up a good argument against it. (with one exception at the K-2:45 area where the zinc is exposed.)

But zinc doesn't laminate. It is pure zinc. Looks more like a scratch and plating issue. Note the exposed zinc areas.

If you can see plating below that area instead of gray color, then you could have a piece of plating that was struck onto your coin. But if you seeing just gray under there, it is a split plating issue. The reason I asked this question is that the affected area looks like it is on the rim and possibly wraps around the edge of the coin? But if it is just gray under the loose area, it is not a struck issue. But not a lamination error.

Thanks coop. I'm going get some acetone and give it a soak. I checked the edge and didn't see anything different
