This is definitely for my education. Would love to get opinions. I have a few more questions but I'm trying to pace myself
Hola, Aloha, Hello! Welcome this fine morning on the East coast. Definitely PMD. Check out : error-ref.com for lamination examples.
Thanks. I do have a Bombay Hook that is 100% a lamination but this type has had me curious yet pessimistic. I do appreciate the response and will know what to look for.
Your 1993 Cent was minted on a Copper Plated Zinc Planchet. The edge took a hit during circulation which affected the copper plating and exposed the inner zinc. The examples of true Laminations occur on copper planchets Cents minted before 1983. 1982 was the last year they made Copper Cents. Please show your Bombay Hook.. Whatever that is
I have to say PMD as u it t appears to have been struck and the metal was scraped and pushed into a line. Here is one of my examples of a lamination. It’s a retained lamination. You can easily see the tears and no straight lines. I can even slip a piece of paper under the peeling portion. Here is another one of mine. You can see the peeling taking place in the field in front of Lincoln’s nose. I included this but it’s a struck through on the rim. You can see how the rim reacted. Nothing like your coin on the rim even though this one is a struck through.
