jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 3:51 pm I don't think I've seen lamination cracks on a 1943 steel one cent before. Weighs a bit lighter than standard 43. I'm guessing a problem with alloy mixture. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 4:10 pm @jfe, no big deal, but moving forward please don't create more than one thread for a coin. If you forget to upload pics at first, you can just go in an add them to that original thread. Thx!

jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 5:25 pm Sorry Spence.. I have no idea what happened. I didn't even notice the double posting until I went to review. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 5:49 pm Can it even have a lam issue? Copper plated cents can't so zinc plated steel probably can't.Any chance it is tape?Also,what does the edge look like? John1 Edited by John1 06/14/2023 5:50 pm Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 6:06 pm Those cracks are from the steel rolling. I like the coin. If you trade, J. let me know. Is not the value but the coin itself. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 6:43 pm I didn't think lams were possible here either. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8740 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 6:51 pm I would agree with John1, tape or tape residue or possibly a horribly re-plated cent, that we know are very common. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 8:34 pm I appreciate the comments. Attached are a few more photos showing a better view of the "cracks". Also note the marked DDD on Abe's chin and neck. I'll try giving it a bath in Acetone if necessary. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 8:51 pm Acetone is not good for steel. Pay attention. Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 8:54 pm I decided not to use acetone.. Thanks.. Report this Post to the Staff
jfeed Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 9:06 pm I used my old trusty 30 power loop and I'm still thinking cracks. The reverse is nice with no cracks. Perhaps Silviosi called it. Thanks again.. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95405 Posts	Posted 06/14/2023 9:22 pm I still think RIDB here Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 06/15/2023 06:34 am I do not think the neck doubling is DDD. Something to do with channeling or retooling ,can't remember. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
