    Not a lamination - its a small blob of extra metal - difficult to see in the photo.

    The whole coin's color doesn't seem natural to me. The first obverse photo shows hairlines going across the cheek & neck, and the reverse has an unnatural looking halo around "ONE DIME".

    AU55, cleaned at some time but very interesting coin.

    it might make an AU 50 grade but I’m going with EX 45. To be an AU grade there are only slight traces of where on high spots like the hair cheek bone and leaf tips on the reverse. I see a little more than a trace of wear, but not a lot of wear. The edges of the headband are fairly distinct and all of LIBERTY to me is sharp so therefore, I’m at EX 45.
