deemed "non lamination" to me I think it is

I almost want to just peel the copper off to prove that this is a lamination. i don't see how a hit could make a fine layer of copper raise up like that. Looks paper thin. I never in my life seen a scratch layer like that. Or I never in my life hit a piece of copper and see it act like that. Maybe someone can shed some light on this.

What I see could just as easily be a die crack or even lamination. Your picture does not convince me either way. Take several and post whichever one or two shows it best.

Now somebody else may see that and know exactly what it is as well as which exact DDO it is as well.

 

I would say that is a "Retained Lamination", The line is very jagged to be a "hit"
mark. What is the date of your coin? [40s] And do you have full photos?

 

Lamination. Every bit of it.

 

44-S, Nice One.

 

Just found this one in a 10lb hoard I bought from my LCD for Face value this past
Sunday.

 

How much do they usually go for in this condition? Yours and mine.

 

I think Paddyman98 could answer that question better than I. So I'm thinking he would say $2-$3. But then yours is an "S".
Oh I forgot to ask, Where was your coin "deemed".

 

Here is what an iPhone 4S will do. Just picked this one up for 20 bucks and hope they come get it soon. Absolutely no effort or fidgeting whatsover beyond using a pair of +3.25 reading glasses from the dollar tree and LED lights. It is overexposed.

Is your lens shield scratched up or abraded? It can be replaced I am reasonably certain.

You have an iPhone 4, correct?

 

I have an iPhone 5. That's actually better than the iphone 5 pictures, your iPhone 4 haha. And my lense looks pretty solid, but on the inside look like there is dust. I'll have to open this up and clean the lense one of these days.

 

warm it up, peel it off, run by a watchmakers place and have him reseal it with crystal clear that cures in seconds with UV light. Maybe, for a more adventurous experience, see if the ladies in a nail salon have some UV jizz that cures the same way. I knew something was jacked with yours. ;-)

 

Warm what up and peel what off? I see a tutorial on how to clean the dust from the iPhone 5. Seems like it's a common problem

 

Who is saying it's not a lamination? Looks like one to me. Although it's cool, it's only a minor error, and not worth very much (if anything) over the numismatic value of a circulated 44-S cent

 

Then fix it, it should do better than this 4 from all the pix I've seen, and it's a long way from it.

Did you read anyone saying it wasn't?

 

It was a long time ago. I was rechecking my wheat extras and I found it again. Remember someone here saying it was damaged.

 

Well the dirty lens pic does show it has been hit which can cause laminate to raise.

 

Definite Lamination Crack (not die crack) your value is about right

 

Thank you everyone! Nice to know my thoughts were right! appreciate everyone looking!

 

To look at those dirty lens'd, slightly out of focus, and less than ideally illuminated pix and commit to "definitely", when there is a possibility it could be a die crack, although unlikely, really is strange, especially after you have been shown his device is quite likely capable of providing pictures sufficient to draw conclusive, and even certain opinions.

Seems like a classic case of seeing what you want to see and ignoring what isn't actually shown. The odds again, are most likely a die crack <edit lamination> and would be even if it didn't have the hit.

Tyler even owns his lens is dirty. What a silly game.
