<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 516747, member: 1242&quot;]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&#039;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&#039;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!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
