Looks like " Post Mint " Damage . Thanks for sharing .

 

"Pre Mint Damage"!!! Now I've heard everything!

 

Ok thank you very much for your reply.

 

I can't tell from your photo but it could be either a lamination issue or a die crack.

 

Oh yea, tiny die crack . Now I see it .

 

I think it looks like a lamination, can you get a closer picture?

 

To me is just looks like dirt on the coin's surface, but it could be a small lam. Agree that better pictures would be useful.

 

better photos of the area would be useful in seeing whatever is there

 

SEE ... NEVER TO OLD TO STOP LEARNING

 

Pic's of the entire coin would also be very helpful, good luck.

 

Looks more like a small lamination than anything else.

 

Lamination peel on the planchet

 

Hmm, if it's a lamination error wouldn't that be "pre mint"? Lol

 

Sometimes yes and sometimes no. In this case no. Look at it closely. It almost goes to the rim but it turns upward and the UN and the left side of the I are imprinted on top of the lamination. This is a retained lamination.

 

Well I learned something new today. I thought all lamination errors were caused by impurities in the coin stock rolls before the planchets were ever punched.

 

Try this link. It explains it very well.
