<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 986418, member: 66"]This is a very interesting piece. Yes it is a lamination, but I believe it is also a struck through. In fack I think it is struck through the lamination. The intersting thing is the lamination did not come from this coin. It looks to me like the strip had a lamination which get folded over. The blank was then punched out giving you a blank with an extra flap of metal attached at the edge and folded back over the blank. The coin was then struck through that flap of metal which later broke off.</p><p><br /></p><p>Typically when you have a large lamination that falls away the surface, underneath it is rough and the edges where the lamination meets the field are rough and abrupt. On this one the surfaces are smooth, both underneath and at the edges except the one at the edge of the coin where the lamination broke away. Also the clad layer is fairly thin. A large lamination like that would normally expose the copper core.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
