MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 10:04 am I am considering this coin to complete a capped bust type set but I was wondering what the experts think of the reverse. Is it a strike thru, planchet defect or PMD? https://www.ebay.com/itm/284907443796 Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5665 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 10:37 am Looks like a planchet defect to me, probably a lamination flaw. That raised blob of metal at the end of the scroll may be some folded over metal from the lamination. Report this Post to the Staff
jacrispies Pillar of the Community United States 3848 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 10:37 am I believe it is a lamination issue. I've seen it multiple times before on bust half dollars, seems to be a very uncommon thing. Kills eye appeal for serious collectors, so they never get a premium. Suffering from bust half fever.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36710 Posts	Posted 07/27/2022 11:51 am Yep, lamination issue. For a type set I'd look for one without that. Report this Post to the Staff
MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 07/28/2022 09:45 am Thank you folks for the input. If I were buying this for my personal collection I would go for a better grade problem free coin. My type set is already complete with VF or better examples. I was looking at this for a lower grade VG set for my wife's collection. Report this Post to the Staff
