What is this

Just going by what looked like that coin's issue in error-ref. Noted the pics that showed similar fractures (The 2002 Brazilian 10 centavos)

That's not the same thing.

 

Paddyman, could it be a deep lamination error? Thanks in advance. Welcome to CT Claireishere, and good luck with your father's collection.

 

I believe there's no doubt this is glue. I don't think the OP has soaked it in acetone. Distilled water isn't gonna desolve glue.

 

...lamination or planchet issue?…do we know the year? If anyone, @paddyman98 ...would know...Spark

 

This looks like it was caused by Die Subsidence (Sunken Die) in two areas of the Obverse. See this Link from ERROR-REF.com for a description of this phenomena: http://www.error-ref.com/die-subsidence/

 

lol, i always get side tracked when i go to the error definition page, and i love it, it turns a 2 minute read into a half day instruction in errors, i love errors!!

 

my guess is struck through, or a lamination??

 

If dipped in acetone, would settle the the glue question. Unless left in distilled water overnight, any kind of glue that's cured for decades would just sit there and raspberry you.

 

It's damaged.

There is no error on that cent.

 

Nope.. Not it. Not at all.

 

But, but, but...it looks different. Must be an error lol

 

Comments like this make it difficult for those starting out to learn. At no point did I say it’s an error. I just asked what it was.

 

You have this posted in the error coins forum.

 

Sorry to harsh your mellow
Welcome to our world
So many things show up here on the Error Forum that aren’t worth what people think, I may have been short with you
You did get some responses from some much more knowledgeable than I am. Such as @Fred Weinberg , @paddyman98 , @Oldhoopster , @Kentucky
I’ll try to be a better person

 

It's not a mint issue of any kind (notice I didn't say error) it's PMD In my honest opinion which I have already given.

 

@Duban coffee

Mr. Coffee.. Is there something you would like to share?

If you're going to quote me then say something.

 

Because I didn’t know what it was as the original heading said

 

No problem,
