Hi all. This one looks like the plating has loosened during minting? Haven't seen one like this before. What's happening here? 1998 D

Thanks, Mike

I would say it's a lamination,can't remember if it's an error or a variety.

I would say it's a lamination error. they are classified as an error minor errors and don't bring a good premium unless they are an extreme case.

Looks like the plating is lifting or it's plating over the top then struck.

Thanks guys. I thought laminations only occur on copper coins. This one is zinc.

That's why I think the plating is lifting or the other.

The plating is separating from the zinc core. I am not sure what to call it:-)

A lamination error usually implies that a solid planchet has a bubble or an impurity in it that causes the metal to peel up and separate from the main body of the coin.

I might tend to call this coin one with the plating separating but I can se why it might be called a lamination error.

I think the terminology might still be developing on this type of thing.

Thanks,
Bill
