Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 03:40 am @cam, those are great pics. I'm not so sure about that being a die chip between the 9 and 6. It would be odd to not be connected to one, or most likely, both numbers. I suspect it is a tiny lam or scrap of copper foil wedged in there.

It looks attached to both the 9 and the 6. I took these to show the angle. You can see the light on the edge. Report this Post to the Staff
Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 05:44 am Sorry for the double post. I'm horrible. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 05:46 am Ok yes those pics help. Let's see what others think, but it still looks like a tiny lamination to me. Added: and don't stress about double-posting. Maybe time for your morning coffee?

bugil46 Pillar of the Community United States 579 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 05:51 am The connection seems very well defined-square. Die chips are mostly blob shaped. Curious. I think it is a scrap of copper foil or lam. I agree with Spence. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97904 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 11:46 am [quote[Curious. I think it is a scrap of copper foil or lam.[/quote] my thoughts exactly. the other thing above and to the left of the 9 could also be a very small lam of just debris.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 12:03 pm Interesting. Agree this is unlikely a chip. Report this Post to the Staff
Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 3:47 pm It did clear off the spot on the 9. I know I should read and study more but I have troubles with attention span when learning through reading, especially reading in length. My mind wanders and I retain little. Its difficult. So I just look for things that don't look right. I don't know what yall mean by LAM. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 06/26/2022 11:15 pm LAM= Lamination. See glossary. Report this Post to the Staff
Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 06:09 am I went to the glossary but ads are covering everything. Get rid of one, and another slides up. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97904 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 08:18 am Here, this my help - a bit of reading is involved (but not too much): Quote: lamination A thin piece of metal that has nearly become detached from the surface of a coin. If this breaks off, an irregular hole or planchet flaw is left. A defect in the metal or gases trapped in a coin's metal that result in a piece of the coin detaching from the rest.

Camrdaddy19 Valued Member United States 109 Posts	Posted 06/27/2022 3:16 pm Thanks Dearborn (amd everyone else). I'm learning a lot. Especially that there is a lot for me to learn! The similarities within different defects and whatnot. I gotta do some studying. Report this Post to the Staff
