This one also made the rounds elsewhere where it went down as a lamination. I still can't envision that. It's that straight cut between the raised polished area and the lower unpolished area that makes me still say struck-through. However, if so, I have a problem, there, too, as, shouldn't that rim also be affected, were it a struck-through? Unless I'm mistaken about that, that means I'm back to a lamination (a planchet defect). What do you think? Thanks.

Looks like a lamination error to me.

Hmmm. I have to ask, then, Mike, is that simply how the planchet looked on that one side before it was struck? I do notice that distinct separation-line is parallel to the graining on that side of the coin, should that further support a lamination.

It split off after the strike.

This one still really had me puzzled. But I've seen enough lamination "peels," just barely hanging on, to understand what you're saying. This one was just so weak, the whole area just got lifted right off. Thanks, again!
