DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 12:23 am Pulled this out of a bulk lot long ago. It spent several years in the garbage box until one day I got bored and realized it wasn't damaged. Edited by DCH 02/15/2009 12:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 3:01 pm That's an interesting coin! I almost looks struck through something because the eagle and letters are softer within that region. Or perhaps a lamination dropped away after the strike? Ideas? Report this Post to the Staff
wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 3:29 pm hmm.... would a peeled-off lamination leave such weak strikes? I think it's a piece of wood or another shard of metal or something like that. Report this Post to the Staff
DCH Pillar of the Community United States 645 Posts	Posted 02/15/2009 4:31 pm I thought it was a strike through, but it was identified as a lamination many years ago by the man who literally wrote the book on errors. Alan Herbert(Price Guide to Mint Errors). Report this Post to the Staff
Jazzcoins Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 02/19/2009 10:30 am i would say it;s a lamination looks like it. The reason why it looks like a chunk of wood because of the color of the coin Jazec Edited by Jazzcoins 02/19/2009 10:32 am Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/21/2009 7:36 pm Just for the sake of conversation, I took a detail of the coin and highlighted a few areas I found interesting, such as: > the indentations oblique to the main direction of the indentation > the termination of the indentation before the edge of the coin.
