Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 10/03/2022 7:08 pm Agreed with better pics needed, but it does look like a delamination on his cheek and neck.

Spence Moderator United States 34426 Posts	Posted 10/03/2022 7:33 pm I think @cuj nailed it—a lam on Abe and a somewhat parallel scratch n the field in front of him.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/04/2022 12:53 pm The stretch look makes me think this is a lamination issue. When the metal is cold rolled onto the stock hot roll, the shape is flattened and stretched into a longer shape. Because it was not as hot as the hot rolled metal, it is not fastened tight to planchet. So after the strike it may fall off the coin, or stick around like this example. CoopHome: Why do lamination errors happen? cold metal rolled on to a hot sheet of metal, will adhere for a time. but a later can fall off the coin or hang onto the coin. depending on the heat of the hot roll temps.
