I think the streak across the obverse running through Washington's forehead and the splotch on the reverse near the edge are lamination errors. I'd like to get some expert opinions.
Quote: Clad coins won't have lamination issues - this is just a stain of some sort.
Lamination on Clad Coins... "Because copper-nickel clad layers are already very thin, it is quite unusual for lamination errors to develop within a clad layer. Yet such errors do occur. They can be distinguished from "partial clad" errors because the copper core is not exposed in a lamination error." https://www.error-ref.com/?s=Lamination
However, this coin does not resemble the unusual lamination error depicted on error-ref.
