Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/01/2022 9:05 pm Looks like a scratch to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 11/01/2022 9:07 pm It looks more like a contact mark. A lamination is usually found on coins with a single alloy planchet. On a laminated coin the metals used in the alloy are incorrectly mixed and the defect results in a split or missing area in the surface.
