[QUOTE="CygnusCC, post: 7730269, member: 120299"]Ok, I'm pretty sure this is not a detached lamination (the raised grooves are strange), but what is this? Just some weird sort of PMD? I would think that somehow the cent got sliced down the side and then the thin slice broke off, but then why is that part elongated away from the planchet? I would think it would be mashed inward. I don't know enough about the minting process to see how this could have happened in the mint - I'm thinking it didn't, but I thought I'd run it by you guys before I decide how to label it. Just to make sure this isn't "The well known 'cent got stuck in the press and stretched'" error or similar. :) Any thoughts? Thanks!
