Bill Kerr Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 09:28 am Guys this coin has craters and also areas that look to have flakes possibly from the craters, can you tell what has taken place on this coin? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 09:34 am Looks like multiple laminations. Very cool! Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 09:51 am Interesting! The alloy used wasn't mixed properly so the surface has areas that have lifted and separated on the coin. As Coinfrog noted, these are called laminations. Drop it in a 2X2 and add it to your collection! ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 10:29 am Would that be a lamination or a de-lamination? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95360 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 10:38 am Very cool! Some retained laminations and some that got lost (fell off) Nice 'Moon' cent Collecting since 1972.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5770 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 10:43 am It is possible to have a stuck through on a coin with laminations. It looks to have some retained laminations in your last two images. The weight would be nice to know to possibly rule out the indentations being struck through. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 12/01/2022 3:43 pm I find a lot of these in early 60s bags. As Yoko stated above, improper mix. I call it slag. During the mixing process some areas of copper cool down faster than the rest and don't mix together with the rest of the copper. I've found a few that all of the obverse or reverse is slag.
