I think I've got both here. Any value to it? Attached Thumbnails   __________________ "We're all ignorant, just on Different Subjects."

I was thinking lamination because of the lack of metal. I thought lack of detail meant struck through. Anyway, I got this in change at the post office stamp machine. Guess I'll have to use up my SBA's next time I buy stamps and keep this one. Bummer today was I dropped and broke open my old bank roll from 1979 and guess I'll spend tonight looking for the close rim. Nobody has much use for my 30 yr old stash of SBA's other than the USPS and some parking meters. __________________ "We're all ignorant, just on Different Subjects."

Whatever you do keep that golden dollar it's a nice error and it's worth something but like I said I don't know the premium on the coin. nice find Joe Last edited by just coins; 06-25-2009 at 06:48 PM.   06-26-2009, 08:09 AM   #7 (permalink) DoK U Mint In Odd we Trust     Join Date: May 2009 Location: Bluegrass Posts: 395 My Mood: I intend to put it in a flip and set it aside until someone wants it more than me. Right now I find it a fun coin. __________________ "We're all ignorant, just on Different Subjects."

IMHO this is definitely grease or some sort of strike through, there is a slight loss of detail in the date you can see this by comparing the second 0 to the last one. I just don't see a lamination here. __________________ Matt Dinger Lost Dutchman Rare Coins   06-26-2009, 10:53 AM   #9 (permalink) jello Numismatist     Join Date: Sep 2007 Location: Alabama Posts: 2,746 My Mood: You all maybe right.

I just don't see a lamination here. Anything is possible when it comes to metal alloys it could very well be a plating issue. I have serveral Jefferson nickels 2006 with that look maybe twenty or so. But not as extreme as the OP's ,and it;s a lamination issue my nickels. I would post one but my scanner doe's not pick up the details unfortunitly. I respect your opinion Dutch that;s cool you think it;s a grease strike thru OK ,but not me.

Hope it helps you to see the struck through, something got between the die and coin. __________________ A man's got to believe in something. I believe I'll have another drink. W. C.

Joe I did a couple of quick searches through heritage... I searched for the term lamination. And searched back through 2001.. I only found one example of this type on a golden dollar the the pictures don't help much. So as for there being several examples... I don't see em. http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item...67&Lot_No=3200 I shouldn't say definitely... but I have definitely not seen a lamination that looks like the OP's coin. __________________ Matt Dinger Lost Dutchman Rare Coins   Page 1 of 6 1 2 3 4 5 > Last » Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
