Dearborn Moderator United States 69745 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 12:42 pm wow, I have never seen anything like this. Over Lincoln's head could be an old lamination Not sure what caused the indented space on his shoulder. on the reverse on EPU, could also be an attached Lamination that slid down a bit.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 18206 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 1:01 pm I'm with Errers - this is all damage (blunt force trauma), not laminations. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
lucidfind Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 03/26/2025 1:36 pm I agree with PMD, It just seems the force needed to remove a sizable chunk of metal would leave behind more damage and evidence of cause. The amount of blunt force needed to remove the side of Lincoln's head or shoulder usually deforms the coin in some other way as well. I just thought it was a bit weird. Report this Post to the Staff

Metal wasn't removed. Something bashed on Lincoln's head, creating a depression. You can see that the reverse is slightly convex. It probably wobbles a bit with the obverse up. Edit: The same applies to Abe's shoulder. You can see that the coin is out of round and protruding at E. Pl.

But I agree that it appears to be PMD of some kind. Report this Post to the Staff
