Nice mid-sized lamination error I picked up for $3 including shipping. My lamination binder is in disarray at the moment, but don't think I had a decent one for this date and the price was certainly right.

Interesting that it saw a decent amount of circulation.

My thoughts exactly. Wondered why no one pulled it much earlier. Maybe the lamination came off long after it was in circulation and wasn't noticed. It does kind of look like it maybe had some help as the upper right is a bit more raggy than I would expect for one that came off on its own.

To be off after strike is no doubt. In thousands and thousands exfoliations I never saw this. The color of the tin is there. Very few cristaline separations and borders so strait. Also on the Right the borders are rise like an Die Chip.

Never ever saw this.

Thanks folks! My one other thought was that if the left side had come off like the right side it would be pretty darn bat-like.
