DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 10:30 pm Really don't know what to make of this one. Surely lamination peel going on but the raised portion by rim almost looks like a V or half a W. It does appear some metal movement may have occured pushing/moving inside rim which in turn knocked the last leg of the W south. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 10:32 pm That is a nice lamination from the rim down over the head, with a nice fold-over at the rim. Collecting since 1972.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 10:34 pm Thx Dearborn, so called a fold over when that rim got hit. Assume all PMD? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 97062 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 10:45 pm No, I do not think it is PMD here. The lamination went right up to the rim where part of the lam got folded back over on itself. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 05/09/2023 11:02 pm The lam has an edge, it is surely lifted/separated. Hard to tell without coin in hand I know, but not surface material. Report this Post to the Staff
NY Islander Pillar of the Community United States 981 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 12:08 am Your coin looks like a lamination. I've got lamination on a 1973 D reverse. "We are all flawed, some MD and some PMD." NYI Edited by NY Islander 05/10/2023 12:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 05/10/2023 5:49 pm Aftering taking another closer look under scope, I see the LAM almost goes rim-to-rim. Not fully lifted but wraps around ear, behind lobe, and then almost straight down thru front of shoulder to 6:30ish. Report this Post to the Staff
