Andi551 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 7:14 pm I looked it up and it looks to me like a few lamination cracks but I'm not sure, like I said, new to this. Also, can someone tell me what else has happened to this penny? Thank you so very much for your time. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10497 Posts	Posted 12/02/2024 10:17 pm Yes - it could very well be a lamination line. You also see it from the C in CENT Plus and a DIE CRACK at the left Wheat cent stem? C'mon people - Here we go once more - Obviously better pics will help! Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73900 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 12:46 am I disagree Marve65. I don't think it's a Lamination issue. Also, that line on the left wheat stem looks like a scratch. It looks incuse. Better pictures would help of course, but I still think it's environmental damage of some sort. Errers and Varietys.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19135 Posts	Posted 12/03/2024 5:41 pm There is a lamination issue, mixed in with other surficial issues which may be acid related. Report this Post to the Staff
