[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2616018, member: 69760"]I saw this on the [URL='http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCGS-MS63-ALPHA-EAGLE-1880-S-MORGAN-DOLLAR-ERROR-BROKEN-LAMINATION-IN-SLAB-1-/302141320586?hash=item465906ad8a:g:S7cAAOSwMNxXYa2h']'Bay[/URL], and I'm wondering how the letter "A" peels off and moves to the eagle's chest. It had to have been struck in place to form the "A" device, then the "A" area de-laminated and... melt onto the chest? I'm not too sure that this coin was struck more than once; but I guess if it was struck twice, the "A" could possibly have been pressed onto the eagle's chest. PCGS didn't grade this as a details and gave it a solid MS-63 grade, but they also didn't designate it as a lamination error (even if it required an extra fee, I don't see why the submitter would choose not to, unless a lamination error designation wasn't available back in the OGH days).
