CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 05/02/2024 7:13 pm A recent pick up here that wasn't cheap but I think was a good deal. Regardless of value, the eye appeal was strong enough for me to buy it. The seller keenly noted the letter design transfer but listed this a delamination error. The inverted letters of TES OF (USA) on reverse are clearly visible as well as the design rim. The coin weighs a little light at 11.12g so I'm not sure how that affects the diagnosis but I think I'm calling this correctly. A previously struck fragment clung to the hammer die and was struck into this coin. I am just not sure how the piece was able to barely wrap around to the reverse as well?

mikediamond Pillar of the Community United States 2737 Posts	Posted 05/02/2024 8:52 pm Echoing Dearborn's comment, are you quite sure this isn't dried glue that carries the impression of the reverse of another half dollar? The reason I ask is that (1) the shape of the impression is quite odd, (2) your edge shot seems to show what might be a bit of glue sticking up from rim/edge junction, and (3) the die-struck reverse letters seem unaffected where they are cross into the abnormal surface.

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 05/02/2024 9:18 pm I have problems with pictures, but it looks incused to me. I've been wrong on these "glue " pictures before. Between the 1 and the 9 does look like glue. I'm hoping it's good. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 05/02/2024 10:18 pm I started a return, should be good. There were some red flags I was ignoring like a slight yellow tint in the area but even with a loupe I was still seeing it as all incuse,, wild. Let this be a lesson folks.

(besides a Kennedy 'brockage' coin) and red flags are red for a reason... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
