Dowhat Pillar of the Community United States 877 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 9:28 pm Where did that piece [f material originate? From this coin? The upside down letters of Liberty appear to be incuse, and the half on top of Liberty looks struck thru. How did this happen considering the process? Report this Post to the Staff
nick10 Pillar of the Community United States 3207 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 10:18 pm Dowhat, get a piece of aluminum foil. Fold it in half. Place it on a semi-firm surface, such as a magazine. Use a pen to write BER into the aluminum, the ink doesn't mater, instead it's the pressure that is being illustrated Unfold the aluminum. Voila, you have two BERs, one "upside down" relative to the other. Report this Post to the Staff
Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 08/17/2023 10:56 pm Very nice lamination! I don't think PCGS would grade this coin. It would be placed in a 'Body Bag' and returned with a code 83. From the PCGS article on No Grade coins: Quote: Code 83 - Peeling Lamination Coins with a peeling lamination cannot be holdered, as in the process of sonic sealing, it is very possible for the lamination to become detached from the coin. A lamination is a planchet defect originating when a portion of the coin metal separates from itself due to impurities or internal stresses. Lamination flaws occur primarily when foreign materials or gas oxide become trapped within the planchet. I don't know about the other grading services, but I'll try to find out. Update: From the NGC website: Quote: Mint-Made Irregularities Coins are sometimes flawed as made. NGC, as a general rule, will not assign numeric grades to coins having minor flaws such as rim clips or laminations. Update II: I'm still not sure about ANACS, but I fell asleep while researching, so my wife says I have to go to bed. More to follow... tomorrow.
