Hi Folks, I‘m Not really sure what kind of error we see here. Any ideas? It‘ s an unusual pattern imo….. Thanks.
Could this be a planchet flaw as well? As far as I know a coin with lamination error cannot be encapsulated from a TPG. A coin with a planchet flaw otherwise can.
Just a thought, it looks like the lamination originally went to under Liberty's chin, there is a color change there, then it lifted about halfway and bent over to the right. OK, no more Kool Aid for me
Looks like a small lamination on her right cheek or chin but that gouge is large and that is PMD. You can see the metal is pushed up from the bottom. You need to pass on this one.

As far as I know a coin with lamination error cannot be encapsulated from a TPG. A coin with a planchet flaw otherwise can. it's best to check your "AFAIK" opinions before posting. At least two TPGS slab laminations. Someone else can check on the other two. It appears to me that the long chunk on the neck has become partly detached (from the dark area to the left) and is pushed over on to the neck. It is not a strike thru.
That is not correct. I own both. The lam error is designated on the slab and the planchet flaw is not - however it is an ASE from the 25 Anniversary set, graded as MS70. I don’t have the ASE handy, but here’s the planchet flaw:

Looks to me like it is a lamination where the lamination was moved before striking to its present position, then struck. The right side of the W is weak, an the E appears to be struck on the lamination.
One picture does not tell the story. Looking at your pic I see heavy wear and as Ed's stated, a gouge and possible PMD. I'm leaning toward PMD, sorry. Could be wrong though, good luck
