Planchet with a lamination error

[codamyer]

Hello everyone!! This is my 1st post on these boards. My name is Jerry and im from Rapid City SD. Found this blank in a 1960-P mint sewn bag a couple weeks ago. Not sure what the exact terminology of this error would be. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Jerry - Welcome to the CONECA forum. Do you by chance have an image of the reverse?

Hi BJ, here's a pic of the reverse. Thanks for any info you might be able to give

I will notify Mike Diamond and see what he thinks.

It's a planchet in which metal is peeling from one face. In other words, it's a planchet with a lamination error. You don't see this all that often.

Jerry:

I hope you look at the 1960P coins carefully. I just finished 35 BU rolls of 1960P cents and found many die cracks and chips that I had not seen before. Some of the cracks went from top to bottom off the edges. Do you have access to Jean Cohen's book, THE CLASSIFICATION AND VALUE OF ERRORS ON THE LINCOLN CENT? Jean cataloged 7,000 die breaks on the Lincoln cent. If you are not familiar with cracks you will need a good 10x loupe and if possible a 10X to 20X stereo microscope for your search. I very much enjoy the hunt for these types of varieties. If you need help please ask. I will help you.

Thanks everyone for your help!! I kinda thought it was a lamination but had never seen one that looked like clam shells. Wonder what the coin would of looked like if it had been struck. Also kinda funny that this was the only coin in the entire bag that had lamination and it was unstruck. Hmmmm

Have you found ANY die cracks in the mint sewn bag of 1960P?

Hi coulsonmd, I found 3 die breaks so far just in one roll. 2 different ones are on the bottom bust of Lincoln, 1 is on the reverse top right of memorial just above the last column, and the last one is on the I of America and has 2 breaks. Let me know if you need pictures

If you are looking at the 1960 small date Lincoln cent (either P or D), be on the lookout for peripheral die clashes (tilted die clashes).

Look for die chips in the word LIBERTY. Especially IIB and BIE I am looking for both of these. I will buy them from you if found. Thanks. Let me know what else you find.

wrote the check for more than the grading cost was I had a 1948D franklin
Full bell lines NGC sent it to ncs to remove the lamination I called ncs ask them why? they said it was laminated I said why? did you remove the lamination collectors collect laminated coins I also directed them to eBay where a 1936 buffalo nickel was Slabbed laminated they had no response
got a Lousy $110.00 for a Benjamin that was laminated then removed because NGC said that they don't Slab laminated coins they body bag them
