coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 7:42 pm It maybe. Is there a lipped area next to the frosted area. It looks like it may have flaked off after striking. Even a little copper is showing. Report this Post to the Staff
chuckster 125 Pillar of the Community United States 4113 Posts	Posted 10/23/2009 9:45 pm Hi coop: Here are some additional pic's around the outer area of the possible lamination. It looks like a lip area to me and there also seems to be some flaking under the 2. Thanks for any help on this! Report this Post to the Staff

pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 08:11 am I would suggest soaking a little in acetone and then reposting it to see if the seam is still there or if the seam was just from dirt sticking to a stain. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 10/24/2009 10:02 pm Hi, It's not a lamination error. Veteran roll searchers are finding many coins damaged like this. Some are worse than others. Some people are starting to call them "Katrina" coins as they seem to have been immersed in water for a period of time, causing staining and decomposition. I am not 100% sure about the origins of the coins but I have seen hundreds like this. I am 100% sure though that it is damage. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
