<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 393016, member: 1242&quot;]When a lamination peel occurs and the portion of the coin peels back or falls off of the coin (planchet), any details underneath can still be seen! This is because that under the extreme pressure of the Minting process, any details pressed into the coin become very dense and this density actually extends well below the surface of the coin. Because of this, Nick-A-Date is used on many coins to reveal a Date and/or Mintmark that was worn off by circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>I cannot tell from the picture if in fact your coin suffered some sort of lamination peel or separation and would need better in focus pictures of the whole Reverse as well as the area of interest. From the picture, it looks more like a Strike Through or Post Mint damage but with these, there is very seldom any details left inside the Strike Through or damage area!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
