On the reverse it appears to be a wire behind the word "UNITED" and extends below the monument. On the obverse there are two areas where the lamination is flawed; behind "LIBERTY" and across Lincoln's coat and from his jaw to above the date.

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 02/26/2009 06:00 am I had a Morgan dollar like this once that everyone thought was an error. Then an error specialist told me to clean it with acetone. He suspected it was a thin layer of glue. It was and the acetone took it off. You might want to try this. Report this Post to the Staff
