ok here are some more pics,i am not a jokester kind of person and am not trying to mess with anyone. fact:the coin has an "INDENTATION" not raised fact:the 1 and 9 of the date is "down inside" the "hole" fact:there is "nothing" on the surface of this coin,not candy not glue not anything.the pictures are not very good but i just tried to capture the hole.also i would like to thank everyone for all the information
Those pics from the side sure make it look like a lamination to me. Especially the way you can see the darker area just at the edge of the depression - looks like it peeled away.
If I am seeing it right, it looks like the tip of the tail and the inside of the loop on the "9" match the depression while the rest is matching the normal coin. Since nearly all or possibly all of the "9" is in the depression it cannot be a strike through. If it were, then all of he "9" would match the depression. The only thing left I know of is a lamination.
Yep I think a strike through would taken the 9 and 1 out (under normal circumstance's) as deep as the inclusion is. A lamination I think would have also. It must be a result of the green dodad. Nice shot's.
Now here;sa more realistic pic of the blob raised area doe;s that look white or not don;t you see you could see the 1 and 9 right thru the glue . What doe's that look like to you. I had enough of this nonsence. I have to go ,and aboard my spacefraft now to go to my planet ZECTAS. jazzcoins joe alien hybrid Zec
it "feels" like a hole to me. whats wrong with this guy i tell you it not raised 'I" have the coin and you still say its raised.you can do anything you want with the pictures but it will "NOT" fill the recessed,divit,gouge,missing material hole in question.sorry jazzcoins its sunken not raised
I will not post again on this thread I said what i had to say I have to go, to my planet now I don;t have anymore time for this. ZEC
Thanks! I would not have stated it was such, if I did not have a high confidence that it was just that! I have many Lincoln Cents with Lamination Errors and some that are very similar to the OP's coin, just in different locations. IMHO, the planchet was flawed during the manufacture of the planchet stock and had more than likely developed an air bubble inside. Under the extreme pressure of the striking (minting) process, that air bubble burst outward from it's centroid, separating a portion of the core of the planchet. Whether this lamination piece (piece of the core) separated from the coin at the point of striking (minting) or after the coin left the Mint, will never be known but it sure would be a nice if the piece was found with the coin or found struck into another coin!

I'm still leaning towards strike through.. especially with the new pictures... A nice defined border on the indention.... lack of striations... lack of any other smaller areas that didn't completely laminate if it was a lamination... I saw a Morgan in a PCGS slab yesterday... it was a mint error strike through.. right on one of the stars (which was still completely visible) .. the strike through looked identical to this piece... I'm gonna see if I can get the owner to bring it in so I can shoot it for you guys.
I agree with you it would be great if we can see a possible example of something like this so we could come to a real conclusion what this really is.but i still go with what i have been saying Thanks Jazzcoins Joe alien hybrid ZEC
