coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 3:59 pm The 09 is Machine Doubling. Shelf like flat movement from the dies distorting it. The 1954-S Is lamentation, but more of a struck through debris. I've seen this many times. Some flakes off other coins get struck onto the planchet on the devices. If you remove it, then the metal that should have been there now looks weak. So leave it there. It makes an interesting conversation piece to show others. Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 04/20/2009 4:14 pm On the 1954...it's not BOTH lamination and struck through...it's simply a retained struck through metal fragment, which is better than a lamination because it's far less common, but still will struggle to warrant a premium value because it's not a 'noticeable' error. Probably a couple of bucks, whereas a lamination would be worth nothing as a premium. Report this Post to the Staff
