HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 572 Posts	Posted 01/05/2026 10:12 pm I'm on team lamination. Notice how the separation between the layers diminishes as you move towards TRUST? If that were a Rim Fin that somehow got folded over you wouldn't expect to see that because the entire area of disturbance would be essentially a flap of copper folded over. Instead, the layers of copper separated going from TRUST down to the date with separation widening as you move south. Also, you wouldn't expect a folded over flap of copper to adhere so tightly to the rim. Finally, the area next to the 3 can't be a second fin folded over because there's separation between it and the rim. Report this Post to the Staff

Could have separated during the strike and now fused to the coins surface. Report this Post to the Staff
Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6997 Posts	Posted 01/06/2026 12:19 am My thought is ....It is a lamination which was released from the planchet while it spent time in the upsetting mill then re-adhered to the coin during minting process. Report this Post to the Staff
