1962-D Lincoln Error?

Is this a form of lamination? It looks like a stress fracture of the planchet. Your opinion?

WOW! IMO, Planchet flaws (deep jagged crevices cheek) and Laminated surface (peel away region on coat)>.

 

Retained lamination

 

Machine Doubling of the bust. Very common in the 1960's

 

True, but this looks like a reflection of light on the surface.

 

I found one just like it yesterday. I'd post it but I threw it in the box to take to Coinstar.

 

@Insider- Reflection? Really? YOU ARE KILLING ME!!.....and I don't mean in a good way.

 

TJ1952...you are definitely in need of a coin seminar. Your comments are an excellent addition to CT. It give others a chance to look like a genius. Thanks and PLEASE keep posting.

Now, when you do get back into "a good way" will you please educate me about how you made a: @Insider? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE I hope

PS. Please trust me on the machine doubling.

 

You said it was a reflection of light, now you're saying MD? You originally said: WOW! IMO, Planchet flaws (deep jagged crevices cheek) and Laminated surface (peel away region on coat). So what is it?

 

So sorry to have confused you!

1. IMO, NO evidence of machine doubling.
2. Coin is laminated.
3. Coin has several planchet flaws (deep cracks) in addition to the laminations.

Easy right? Stick around CT for a while and learn from the old timers here AS I HAVE DONE.

 

Here are a couple I found this morning and took pics of to show you. These are quite common

 

A lamination flaw is a planchet defect that results from metal impurities or internal stresses. Lamination flaws cause peeling. There is "no peeling" on this coin. Unless the stress fractures are a form of lamination.

 

Thanks for sharing. Where on the coin I'm I looking? I just see a lot of PMD.

 

Sorry to disagree. I see peeling all over the coat.

The chin on the 63-D. I see nothing on the other coin.


TJ turn your original OP in the light and post another photo of the front of Lincoln's coat. I'll bet the "appearance" of the MD will disappear.

 

@Insider when you say you see peeling, you mean peeling like a lamination peeling?

 

Yes, it looks like the surface is raised at the base of the coat.

 

Hmmm, I don't know. I'm looking, I don't see it. I don't see any metal peeling up on the coat or anywhere. The best way I can describe it, it's like a crack or crevice in the coin. Like metal fatigue or stress in the metal. I don't know. Whatever it is it's not that critical, it's just a penny.

Hey, BTW I e-mailed Susan McMillan at ANA. I haven't heard back from her yet.

 

See if you see the difference between:

1. The planchet crack on the tie
2. The "peeling" on the coat.

I would tell you to take a toothpick and peel up the lamination just so you could see the difference but DON'T DO IT as it will ruin the coin.
