Newbismatic Valued Member United States 380 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 7:44 pm That would be my first guess, but I'd like to see some more pictures! Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 9:41 pm That could even be one heck of a crack overlaying a struck-through. A lam will smooth out over time, so that's not out of the running, either. We need better pics straight-on to be more definitive. Report this Post to the Staff

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 12:48 am I lightened up the image and there is a part of the coin that is delaminating. It is hard to determine if this is a result of a problem with the planchet as the coin was minted...or if it is a result of corrosion that occurred later in the coins life. The color indicates that some corrosion has taken a toll on the coin. I wouldn't rule out a lamination error but I wouldn't rule it in entirely either. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 12:53 am Ah, it's conclusive--lamination all the way! That's common on these early wheats; however, they manifest in so many different shapes and sizes, and this one's cool. Heck, it almost took his forehead off. Report this Post to the Staff
Rsxtacee Pillar of the Community United States 737 Posts	Posted 03/16/2011 12:29 pm Thanks! Just wanted to make sure. Trying to learn the different varieties and errors so I'm keeping and taking notes on those that I find. Report this Post to the Staff
