1957 D trash in die

[CarolinaGent]

I’m not sure what it is but it had to of been struck with the dye from the looks of the D and the 57 ? Any ideas?

Looks like a lamination peel. There is a very thin layer of the metal that has separated and fallen off.

Hummmmm I don't know about this one.
It looks odd, lines are too straight, one is semi circular, the rim looks bent or crushed ?

I took a closer look at pic #1.
Even the 7 in date looks odd.
The nearly straight line appears to cut into the 7.

Could this be an attempt at a garage coin or vise job ?
Most of the lamination I see are more jagged than smooth lines .

I dunno...Maybe I am being too critical.

I asked for your opinion Mr Gary not some sugar coated fairy tail Be as critical as can be by all means. And as always thank you fellas.

This coin has every indication of being a lamination peel. I see no way to think it is anything else. As the saying goes...the most obvious answer is the correct one. Every lamination peel will be different.

More like a Retained Struck Thro than a lamination however Bob has a much better eye than I do.
